Easy Homemade Pastrami Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Beef Recipes. (Easy Homemade Pastrami Recipe). Great pastrami is not the easiest thing to find west of the Catskills, so a few years ago I embarked on a mission to find a way to turn the common corned beef into something similar. My goal was to come up with a reasonable substitute that could be done in less than a day at home, without a smoker, or any other special equipment. Impossible? No!
