Ingredients
  • 1 corned beef brisket, 8-10 pound, trimmed
  • PASTRAMI RUB:
  • ⅓ cup coarse ground coriander seeds
  • ¼ cup coarse or restaurant grind black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated garlic
  • MUSTARD SLATHER:
  • 1 cup yellow ballpark mustard
  • 2 tablespoons cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh squeezed lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grind black pepper
Instructions
  1. OPTIONAL: Soak the corned beef in a pot of water in the refrigerator overnight, make sure the beef is submerged completely. This pulls some of the salt cure out of the brisket.
  2. Set-up your Lang cooker to 250º degrees F.
  3. Drain the corned beef and pat dry with paper towels, let come to room temperature.
  4. Combine the rub and mustard slather ingredients and set aside.
  5. Lay the corned beef fat side down and lightly paint the meat side and the sides with the slather using a pastry brush, sprinkle on the rub. Turn the meat over and repeat the process.
  6. Place it on your Lang and cook until the internal temperature is 195º to 205º degrees F. Approximately 8-10 hours.
  7. Remove the pastrami, tent with foil and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
