My Pastrami Rub

The pastrami rub so many of you asked for: about 3:2:1 black pepper, coriander and everything else. No salt, so go as heavy as you want.

Instructions

  1. Mix everything together in a bowl.
  2. Coat the brined, rinsed and dried meat with a thin layer of mustard.
  3. Apply the rub heavily on all sides and let it adhere before it goes on the smoker.

Pitmaster Notes

  • No salt in this rub, because the meat is already cured.
  • Double or triple it for a big packer. Store the rest in an airtight jar.

Times and temps are my starting points. Every cooker and every cut runs a little different, so cook to temperature and feel, not the clock.
