Homemade Pastrami
  1. Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

  2. Add the black and red peppercorns and coriander to a coffee grinder and grind until coarsely chopped, you should see the pieces of black and red pepper individually, don't make it into a powder.

  3. Mix with the other spices in a large shallow dish.

  4. Pat dry the meat with paper towels and roll it in the spice mixture so it is covered well and uniformly on all sides.

  5. Place it onto a rack (if you don't have one it's ok) into a shallow baking sheet or dish.

  6. Cook it for 2-3 hours, after that pour in a half cup of water, and cover the meat with foil, and cook an additional 30 minutes, or until the beef reaches 165 degrees F in the center. I check the internal temperature pretty often, to make sure I don't overcook it.

  7. Cool the meat to room temperature wrap it in plastic wrap and cool overnight in the refrigerator.

  8. Thinly slice and serve.
