  • How do you make homemade pork pastrami?
    1. Start by brining the tenderloin. In a suitable container, stir the water and salt together until the salt fully dissolves. Submerge the tenderloin in the brine for three hours, then rinse it under running water and pat it dry. 2. In a bowl, mix the honey, mustard, and spices until smooth. Rub this honey-spice paste all over the meat, working it in well. 3. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). 4. Slice the garlic into thin 1/8-inch pieces and stud the meat with them all over. 5. Line a baking dish with a double layer of parchment (or foil), large enough to wrap the meat completely. 6. Set the meat in the dish and spread any remaining spice mixture over the top. Wrap it in the parchment (or foil). 7. Bake, wrapped, for 15 minutes. Then take the meat out, unwrap it, and bake for another 20 minutes uncovered. After that, turn off the oven and leave the meat inside to cool for two hours without opening the door. 8. Once cooled, the meat is ready. Serve it thinly sliced on a nice platter.
  • If you use a store-bought spice blend, always check the ingredients on the package. These blends often already contain salt, so keep that in mind or you risk over-salting the dish.
