Pastrami is a type of meat that is made from beef brisket, navel, or deckle cuts. It is a highly-seasoned smoked piece of beef that is served in delicate slices. The meat is brined, coated in spices, cold-smoked, and then steamed. The spices used in pastrami typically include crushed black pepper, coriander, mustard seeds, garlic, and other spices that might be included in a pickling spice mixture. Pastrami is also made from turkey or lamb. Corned beef, on the other hand, is made from beef brisket that is brined in salt and pickling spices and then boiled. While both pastrami and corned beef are made from beef, they are different in terms of how they are cooked, processed, and used.
