Thanks for the kind words, Victor! And I have some good news for you - that knife comes in 10" (dalstrong.com/collections/all/products/dalstrong-butcher-knife-10-shogun-series-aus-10v-vacuum-treated?ref=oxvprrfo2v) and an 8" (dalstrong.com/collections/all/products/shogun-series-8-butcher-breaking-cimitar-knife?ref=oxvprrfo2v) versions!
@@BehindTheFoodTV interesting. I believe you should try using the short version the next time you trim a brisket. Or for that matter anytime you are trimming meat. That point will easily get under the silverskin and once past the point will stay against it without taking meat.
May I ask what was the product called when he placed the seasoned meat in the oven, is it a barbecue grilled ? , what is it called in English? Around minute 8:37 ?
Hey Tammy and Jeremy! Can you brine in the truck? Road Pastrami sounds so fun! Do you kids ever come through Raleigh in the rig? I'd love to have you stop by - we could cook together!
@@BehindTheFoodTV wow! Thanx for the invite! We will remember that if we ever come through. We are going home for 10 days and I am going to make that rub, brine for 6 days and smoke that brisket!
@@BehindTheFoodTV oh are you saying we should get a head start by brining in the truck? We just found SRF wagu brisket/ well its package in a 20%solution as corned beef at Costco in South San Francisco.
I don't actually have a restaurant - I film on location and in my back yard! If you're in Raleigh though I do sometimes have folks come over on filming days to taste what I'm cooking. Feel free to DM me on IG or FB!
Hi Andrea! You could try it with celery seed or powder if you’re looking for a more natural alternative to curing salt. That’s what they use when you see “uncured” meats that would normally be cured. If you’re curing kosher meat I would cut back on the kosher salt a bit but otherwise it should work!
I bought the book just for this recipe. However, the recipe in book DOES NOT INCLUDE any white sugar or brown sugar. I get that the honey is a "secret ingredient" not in the recipe book, but leaving out the sugar seems pretty significant, especially when I typically put an entire cup of sugars it in my previous pastrami brines. Do I really not put any sugar in this brine recipe? Anyone know?
i grew up in pasadena california when it was pay day my mom would take me to kern's deli for a cold pastrami piled high on rye bread with mustard pickle.. as an adult same area it's the Hat or Lucky Boys for pastrami.. never cared for container at the store either funny i just bought one and gave it to the raccoons outside
I love pastrami but never tried to make one, I do intend on trying to make one myself. But I have one question. What type of wood is best for smoking pastrami?
Hi Keith - the full recipe is in Joe's book (link in the description). I'd be plagiarizing if i copied it out onto the Internet. But I promise it's worth it - especially if you pay attention to the things I call out in this video that aren't in the book! -Al
I went on Sunday 07/28/2024, there was no Pastrami on the menu, but I tried everything they had there and I loved it, the Brisket was crazy. I think Katz Deli is ahead since I haven't tried this one. @katzdeli @fettesaubbq @BehindTheFoodTV
Pastrami is ok , personal I think it's a bit overrated ,but this one looks like it could change mind ,I'm have to order some definitely going to give it a go , I'll let you know what I thought.

@@BehindTheFoodTVThanks. I am in 5 hours of the pastrami cook after 8 days in brine. Anticipating a great finish like yours. Thanks for the recipe. I hope you have a great day.
I assure you - I lived in NYC for a long time and had both pastramis multiple times - Fetta Sau's pastrami was more tender, juicy and flavorful than Katz' every time.
Nice video, but quit pushing those overpriced Japanese knockoff knifes that are made in China. You can get a really good real Japanese hand forged knife close to the same price for that kind of money. And yes you will notice how much better a hand forged Japanese knife is especially when cutting through harder items like vegetables.
Hands down. In fact I took the crew to Katz' the day before so they could taste what everyone raves about - and then to Fette Sau where they got the best! Thanks for watching!
@@BehindTheFoodTV Interesting! Katz is the standard set by everyone, but I do pastrami a ton, and I've tried it all. I felt Katz was great but the best was somewhere I wasn't.
Hipster pastrami. Not trimming the fat will make the meat a greasy mess. And leaving slabs of fat on the meat isn't cool cooking - it's lazy cooking. No thanks, I'll stick with Katz's, where they mastered pastrami 100 years ago.
Lol you be you. But maybe you should get your mom to take you to both to taste before you share another uninformed opinion? I’m sure if you behave and promise to stop being a troll that she would take you!
@@BehindTheFoodTV You know it's a bad idea to show the world what kind of douchebag you really are. Also, maybe you should stop coloring your hair like a 14 year-old girl if you want to be taken seriously. *Unsubscribe!*

Various Deli's on Six Mile Road in Detroit back in the late 1940s. No pastrami today has the proper amount of fat.
@@geraldkoth654 I can’t speak for the late 1940’s Gerald! How did the fat on the pastrami in this video compare to those?
Shout out to chef Jeremy Garcia, went to K-12 with him. Great guy, great father and chef. Well deserved recognition.
Hi Fausto - thanks for stopping by! Chef Jeremy is really incredible!
Tldr
Great video! Looking forward to watching your homemade version.
Thanks so much! Looks like you're back in action I need to catch up!
Much love Tio Jeremy!!!🙌🏽 keep being an awesome Chef!! We coming to eat there soon.
Can I come?
This is totally amazing! Fantastic job, Al. Fette Sau is officially on my bucket list.
Thanks, Heather! At least you know they use great knives there now!

What a video Al! I could’ve watch 3 hrs of video! What a great place! I like the simplicity of their cooking, nothing fancy yet delicious!
Thanks, Brian! I have been a fan of Joe and Fette Sau since I lived in Brooklyn. If you ever make it that way, you should definitely try it!

Hello Al, did you check with other restaurants around the area? Just curious on how others prepare their pastrami, compared to Fette Sau BBQ Brooklyn.
Hi Seth! I used to live up there so I know pretty much everyone’s pastrami. I went for the one that’s clearly the best!

Toast the spices and grind them after. More surface area equals more flavor transfer

Growing up Pastrami came in a plastic package from the grocery store. (Hated it)

Hi Karen! This is a totally different experience - and the way they make it at Fette Sau - so good! Wait until you see my cook on Thursday!

My absolute fav cold meat, (Although hot on rye is something else.) Here in the UK we can get it without garlic. So much tastier.
I love pastrami but never tried to make one, I do intend on trying to make one myself. But I have one question. What type of wood is best for smoking pastrami?
I really like the flavor Cherry or Plum impart on beef - but you can never go wrong with oak.
The book says to use 1 teaspoon of curing salt in the brine, and to brine for two weeks. How different was this process?
It was exactly the same, but with the addition of honey.
what kind of smoker is that? any ideas brand and model if it's not DIY :))
I believe it was a custom unit.
What is the actual recipe how can i find so I can make.
Thanks

Anybody an idea on the Brokoli salad recipe?
It's on page 83 of Joe's cook book (link is in the description)
I know a lot of people are going to be shocked by this, but I'm not a fan of coffee flavor. how much do you taste the coffee grinds?
It’s really more of a. Yanke that brings out the natural beef flavor. I don’t think you’d notice it.
Epic
Well said, James!
My side choices would be sauerkaurt or a light 🍃 leafy green salad. Simple. No grains or starchy rice or potatoes pasta 🤔
Sauerkraut on pastrami is divine!
the steaming is definitely what makes it "pastrami. that with the correct seeded Jewish rye and thousand island dressing
Hi Donald. This definitely makes for a great sandwich if you’re not keto like me. Thanks for watching!

@BehindTheFoodTV yeah Trump 2024
They are using a brined brisket for their Pastrami? Katz's and Harold's use the Navel...HUGE DIFFERENCE. This cannot be nearly as tender as the Navel.
I assure you - I lived in NYC for a long time and had both pastramis multiple times - Fetta Sau's pastrami was more tender, juicy and flavorful than Katz' every time.
