This is a FABULOUS recipe! I have made it at least four times and each time it has been devoured! So simple, yet so wonderful and budget friendly. This is a favorite!

This recipe is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing it. I slice it very thinly on a meat slicer. Everyone loves it and it is so fragrant!

I have made this recipe twice. The first time I use an electric oven (which is dry heat and ended up with pastrami flavored beef jerky. When I made this again, I put enough liquid (spelled water because I was out of beef stock to cover the bottom of the crock pot. I placed the brisket with the peppercorn and corriander mixture on top and covered with the lid. I cooked it for 8 hours on low and ended up with the most succulent pastrami I have had in years. It beats the deli's in my area :-. Sorry Langer's and Canter's.

What a great receipe. I followed it to the tee for ingredients, but after reading other comments, added about 3/4 cup of water and covered my meat for the last 45 minutes of cooking time with foil. It wasn't fall apart, but was still juicy and somewhat tender. Because I had a 6.5 lb flat slab, I could have left it in for another 45 minutes. We made sandwiches using both Rye and Pumpernickel bread, Aaron's Thousand Island dressing and carmalized onions. They were great. I did brine my meat for 5 days. I put the left over meat in the fridge and the next day I thin sliced it on my meat slicer, packaged it in freezer bags, and will use it whenever we decide to have Pastrami Sandwiches again. Thanks for a very good receipe.

This was a very easy recipe and the results were delicious. The meat was moist and flavorful. My husband was delighted.

I followed this recipe exactly, and it turned out very dry. My son loved the flavor (thank goodness, but I thought it was "just okay." The outcome didn't seem worth the investment or effort.

Having read the prior reviews I wonder if those that thought their pastrami turned out dry fully followed the recipe. I didn't. First, I used a cut of beef called Tri-Tip = less fat on the meat and inclined to be dryer. Second, I smoked it on an outdoor grill with almond wood. And lastly, I over-cooked it (by mistake. So my version turned out dry, but it was sooo tasty and flavorful nonetheless! I couldn't believe how easy it was to prepare my own pastrami! My wife and I will do this again and be a little more diligent about following this delicious recipe next time. Thank you!

I made this and it was so easy and it came out juicy and stayed that was for a while. I saw a few reviews that said it was dry, but I wrapped mine in foil right after I took it out of the oven and it was very tender and moist. When I sliced it it looked exactly like Aarons. Wouldn't really call it pastrami, but it was a good brisket with a twist.

I watched the show when Big Daddy made the pastrami and just had to try it! It was excellent..tasted like the deli pastrami and even better, certainly cheaper. I will never buy deli pastrami again. Thanks Big Daddy!
