Pastrami Ribs Recipes

PASTRAMI SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• Put the coriander seeds and peppercorns in a spice grinder and pulse until there are no large, whole chunks. Combine the spices with 1 tablespoon salt in a small bowl.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat and add the oil. Sprinkle the ribs with salt and add to the pot. Cook, turning, until all sides are browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Lower the heat to medium and cook the onions until slightly browned around the edges, about 4 minutes. Add the cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until just wilted, 2 to 3 minutes. Whisk the ketchup, spice mixture and 3 3/4 cups of the chicken broth into the pot until smooth.
• Put the pickles and brine in a blender, add the remaining 1/4 cup chicken broth and blend until smooth. Return the meat to the pot, pour the pickle sauce over the meat and bring to a simmer. Cover and bake until the meat is falling-off-the-bone tender, about 3 hours. Check the liquid level after about 1 1/2 hours and add 1/2 cup water if it seems dry.
• Remove the ribs and degrease the sauce before serving.

PASTRAMI RUBBED SHORT RIBS

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the pepper, coriander, smoked paprika, salt, brown sugar, garlic powder, onion powder and mustard powder. Rub the short ribs with the pastrami rub and let sit in the refrigerator, uncovered, at least 2 hours or up to overnight. The longer you can let them absorb the rub, the better the flavor will be.
• Preheat the oven to 225 degrees F.
• Place the ribs on a wire rack set in a baking sheet. Roast until the internal temperature reaches 200 to 203 degrees F and the ribs are fork-tender, about 4 hours. Serve with Braised Red Cabbage and Cranberry Mustard Sauce.
• In a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and season with about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent, 7 to 8 minutes. Add the cabbage, apple, broth, apple juice, vinegar and granulated sugar. Season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cover and cook until tender, about 45 minutes.
• Combine the mustard, honey, vinegar, cranberry juice, pepper and vanilla in a small pot and bring to a simmer, whisking constantly. Lightly simmer until the mustard sauce thickens, 6 to 8 minutes.

PASTRAMI RIBS

Steps:

• Combine black pepper, coriander, brown sugar, mustard powder, paprika, and cayenne in a small bowl. Brush ribs on both sides with distilled vinegar, sprinkle with salt, then pat all over with rub. Place on a rimmed baking sheet; chill at least 1 hour.
• Place rack in lower third of oven and preheat to 325°. Transfer ribs to a roasting pan, fatty side up. Pour ½ cup water into pan and cover tightly with foil. Bake until meat is tender and falling off the bone, about 2 hours.
• Remove ribs from oven and let stand, covered, 30 minutes.
• Whisk Dijon mustard, cider vinegar, honey, and soy sauce in a small bowl.
• Heat broiler. Remove foil from ribs and brush liberally on both sides with mustard mixture. Broil ribs until lightly charred, about 3 minutes. Slice into individual ribs.

EASY HOMEMADE PASTRAMI

Steps:

• Mix garlic and vegetable oil in a small bowl. Set aside for 1 hour.
• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F (110 degrees C).
• Combine black pepper, paprika, coriander, dry mustard, white pepper, and cayenne pepper in a large bowl. Set aside.
• Cover a baking sheet with a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil. Coat aluminum foil with prepared garlic oil. Lay corned beef brisket on foil and brush with remaining garlic oil.
• Cover all sides of corned beef brisket completely with pepper mixture, reserving 1 to 2 tablespoons.
• With fat side of corned beef brisket up, wrap in the sheet of aluminum foil. Place wrapped corned beef on another sheet of aluminum foil with the seam and fat side down. Place double-wrapped corned beef on a third sheet of aluminum foil (seam down), and wrap again.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 6 hours.
• Remove pastrami from the oven and let cool to room temperature, about 3 hours.
• With pastrami still wrapped in aluminum foil, place in a freezer bag or other plastic bag and refrigerate for 8 to 10 hours.
• Preheat the oven's broiler and set the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
• Remove pastrami from refrigerator, unwrap, and place on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle top with 1 to 2 tablespoons of remaining pepper mixture.
• Place pastrami in the oven, 6 to 8 inches below broiler heat. Broil briefly to brown surface, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove pastrami from the oven and slice thinly, about 1/8-inch slices.
• Heat a large skillet over low heat.
• Heat pastrami slices in the skillet with a few drops of water until fat begins to turn from white to translucent, about 5 minutes.
