Want to know more about how our pastrami is made? It's quite a process - read on if you're a deli aficionado!
First, we only use beef navels for our pastrami. Other folks may use beef brisket, but the navel is a traditional cut that produces a consistently juicy & complex flavor that we love. We begin by curing the meat in a salt water brine for three weeks. Then, we apply a secret spice blend (aka. "the rub") by hand over every square inch of each piece. Next, the pieces are hung and slowly smoked at a low, even temperature to lock in the rich smoky flavors. Then, the pastrami is boiled in our kitchen for hours, and placed in a steam table until the moment before carving. Lastly, the pastrami is expertly trimmed, sliced and carved at our counters by our professional carvers.
We've done it exactly this way for over 130 years, and don't plan to change anytime soon!
