Pastramized Beef

---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.01

Title: Pastramized Beef
Categories: Beef
Yield: 4 servings

6 lb Beef brisket 1/2 c Salt
1 ts Saltpeter 4 tb Black pepper; freshly
ground
2 tb Brown sugar; firmly packed 3 tb Mixed whole pickling spice
3 ts Ginger; ground

Mix the Salt, Saltpeter, spices and Sugar together and then rub into the
Beef forcing it into the meat. Set into a pan, cover closely, and put into
the refrigerator or a very cool place. Turn every few days for 3 weeks,
then smoke over a barbecue pit or in a smokehouse -- over very low heat for
4 hours. It will keep well for some time in a cool place. To prepare,
cover with cold Water and cook until tender. The length of cooking time
depends on how long it was smoked. A large goose may be also treated this
way to make a delicious treat.
