How did the pastrami turn out?
Really good. I have made it three or four times. I use Meatheadās method, first for the corned beef, Next Level Corned Beef Recipe Puts The Store Bought Stuff To Shame, and then for the pastrami, http://amazingribs.com/recipes/beef/close_to_katzs_home_made_pastrami.html. I buy a whole USDA Prime packer brisket from Costco (for a ridiculous $2.85/lb), trim most of the fat cap off saving it for when I grind burgers. Depending on what we are in the mood for I either corn the whole brisket or separate the point and smoke that. The leanest part of the brisket I use for corned beef while the fatty part becomes pastrami (the point is really my favorite for pastrami, but sometimes you just want bbq brisket). I tried using the sous-vide instead of steaming the pastrami but its just not as good.

Thanks for the recipes. Iāll have to try some of these some day.
Started my dining day at Dinoās Chicken and Burgers on Pico for their charbroiled chicken. $7.50-ish for a half chicken.
Spicy, maybe a tad salty, but great smokey taste.
Forgot to take a photo soā¦

Snake Rivers ribeye
[/quote] I had a perfect piece at Cut in BH. Home grilling is so iffy. I would never forgive myself if I screwed it up.

CUT does do the Snake River justice. I actually prefer it to the true Japanese stuff because the fat content is less. But that bone marrow flan is destination worthy. That app keeps me coming back.
Sweet. I donāt think Iāve had the Japanese Snake River. I did have some Japanese Mountain Yam fed A5 Wagyu recently. At least thatās what they told me it was 
. That Bone Marrow Flan sounds great.
Grilled last night and tonight. Forgot to take pix last night - shrimp and chicken with romesco sauce. I did remember to take pix tonight - the āinfamous and controversialā carne asada from Costco.
My daughter actually was grill master tonight and did a nice job - medium rare/medium.
I offered to get ribeyes or NY strips, but everyone in the household voted carne asada.

Looks good!
Ooopsā¦ @A5KOBE. My bad. You probably meant you prefer Snake Rivers over true Japanese. Not that Snake Rivers has cattle of Japanese origin. Anyway, they produce a good piece of meat.

Looks delicious - but you basically have cancer now.

At least the āmega-listā of additives will preserve my stricken body for eternity. 
I think other than corn syrup solids, yeast extract and silicon dioxide - all deemed harmless by food authorities - the rub ingredients fall within a normal range.

We celebrated Independence Day with ribs! A mixture of baby back and St. Louis-style with a homemade whiskey hickory BBQ sauce.
