Pastrami on rye. AKA "The Ruben"

[tpack]

I brined a brisket for 9 days while we were in Arkansas about a month ago. When we got back home I smoked it for Pastrami sandwiches. Now I am reaping the fruits of my labor. This one is on rye bread with homemade Russian dressing, swiss cheese, Bavarian Sauerkraut, bacon and lettuce. I ate with sliced sweet yellow onions, but they were on the side. My favorite sandwich of all time.

I did one with a corned beef from HEB about a year ago and it was just OK. Brining them yourself is the way to go. I packaged mine in 10 oz. packages and froze them. it is just enough for 2 nice size sandwiches. My wife doesn`t like the Kraut, but it really makes the sandwich if you ask me.

Don`t be a hater. This is Libby`s Bavarian Kraut. It is sweeter and not as strong as most of them are. I am actually gonna make homemade sauerkraut for the first time when it cools off a little bit. I remember eating it at my grandmothers when I was a kid and it was great. Never had any since then though. If it turns out good I will post pictures.

X2 on homemade kraut. NO comparison with what is sold in store. I like a long ferment so it gets golden color

Wish I had source for fresh home grown cabbages - if anyone knows of source, let me know.

Has more water in them for better kraut making

Venison "top round" makes excellent pastrami!

Looks good except for the lettuce on the bottom . Pastrami is the king of all sandwich meats, hands down.
