Beef Pastrami
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Let's make beef pastrami at home. Don't let the fact that the cooking process is quite labor-intensive and slow scare you — the result will exceed all your expectations! The meat turns out very tasty, slices beautifully, and doesn't crumble at all. Ready pastrami can be stored in the refrigerator for 3–4 days; remember to wrap it in foil for storage. Good luck. The appetizer is ready. Serve immediately.
