Not being able to find the Morton's stuff, I bought a corned beef flat. Then reading the instructions, I needed to soak it in rinse water 8 hours and in the cure overnight. Said screw it, rinsed under warm water, cover in the rub and a ton of pepper. It stalled at 155* for hours and crawled real slow to 167* when i pulled it. The meat was spongy and very salty.
I then boiled it, yeah that's right...boiled it, and it made a good sammy. A lot of the sponginess was gone as well as the salt. It wound up tasting more like corned beef than pastrami.
I will, however, figure this out. It has too much potential not to.
 
A few note's,

Witt, I aint got no directions on the pink stuff?

Here is the link to the Pastrami recipe and it has links to brines to corn the beef and the rubs as well.

A very useful start to the idea of homemade 'strami, though I cut my corning time down to 8 days if the flat is less than 2 1/2" thick and 10 days if it is over 2 1/2" thick.

Thats their new menu, They left off some items.

Joe that looks great, strami & the K Cake.
diferent bakerys have different toppings/icings some use turbano suger only some a glaze & others a heavy frosting.
Did you stuff the inside with filling? They are sold both ways plain & stuffed.
