Ingredients

1 Beef Plate Ribs

BBQFriend - Pastrami Brine

BBQFriend - Pastrami Seasoning

Steps

Remove the Silver Skin

Remove any silver skin and excess fat from the top of the plate rib. This will allow the brine to penetrate the meat

Prepare Your Brine

Add all the pastrami brine ingredients into 1 Gallon of boiling water. Let this boil for a few minutes for everything to rehydrate and dissolve.

Brine Your Meat

In a Cambro CamSquare filled with ice, pour over the brine to cool it down. Make sure the temperature of the brine is 50deg or less before you add your plate ribs. Put this in the fridge and brine for 9 days.

Prepare For Smoking

After 9 days pull the plate rib from the brine and rinse it off. Make sure you clean off any remaining brine salts and seasonings. Pat dry and then season with the Pastrami Seasoning on all sides

Smoke

Place on your smoker running 225F. Smoke for 5-6hrs until the Internal Temperature is 203F. We did not wrap these ribs, just let them smoke until they are done

Rest

Once the IT is hit and they are tender, let rest for 45 min before slicing into it
