Thank you so much! We made this for my dad's 90th birthday. He grew up in Brooklyn and fondly remembers the Carnegie Deli where "the fat would drip off your elbow" We used a prime brisket and flipped it every day in the brine. We rushed the cure only having one week to complete the job but we could not have been happier. Next time we will go a full 7-10 days before the cook. We used a 5 gal bucket with insulated foam on the sides and bottom and it held the entire brisket in four large pieces . It was 17 lbs trimmed down to about 13 lbs. We tried to follow Guga exactly but mistakenly put it into the sous vide tank before adding the final pepper and coriander rub. However, we put it on before the smoking. I am not sure how much that would change it. We used applewood charcoal and cherry smoking chips. I recommend a gentle smoke flavor to preserve the unique brine seasoning. We held temp from 200-240 in the Weber. We put a bowl of water against the coal pile so it would simmer gently for the 4 hrs. It was absolutely FANTASTIC. . It was tender, not chewy but not disintegrating either. You could pile it high with thick slices. The flavor was definitely NY style. This recipe is the real deal. We used to cheat making pastrami using corned beef to start but I'll never go back to that method. The brine in this recipe is key. Do not hesitate to try this. You will be very satisfied.
I started the process this afternoon with a piece of brisket flat just to try it. It made the house smell like pastrami. It smelled so good that I had to have some immediately so I went to Katz's and did takeout since you can't eat inside and brought it out to East River park, sat at a table and went to pastrami heaven. My daughter did the pickup and I still have never been inside Katz's.
Guga! I did your 48 hour corned beef brisket and the results were amazing! Made Reubens for dinner tonight and they were the best I’ve ever had! Thanks for being awesome brother!
It looks truly amazing. Something to try for sauerkraut is to throw it on cast iron with a bunch of butter and cook down until it looks like hashbrowns. I've converted several people to kraut this way.
An alternative to straight up sauerkraut is to shred some red cabbage and mix it in with your thousand island dressing the day before you make your reubens. It'll still come out with a similar but lighter sour flavor but keep the texture. It is also much better to pan or griddle fry the pastrami or corned beef before you assemble. Getting that caramelization on the meat helps intensify its flavor and makes it stand out more against the sauce, bread and kraut. I also butter the outside of the rye bread (I prefer marbled rye over straight rye) and fry the sandwich on each side in the pan or a panini press to crisp up the sandwich. Those little changes make it such an epic sandwich and one of my favorites.
With the salted sun dry meat, here in Honduras we do “TAPADO” which it means kind of “with lid on”, it is a Beef Stew with coconut milk and it is delicious!! we add tarot, Carrot, green bananas, sweet platain to the stew also
I love Korean food, Kimchi in particular. I love Reuben sandwiches also but when I make Reubens at home I replace the sauerkraut with Kimchi. Absolute heaven.
You are at the top of the list of food themed TH-camr's. I absolutely love not only your cooking skills but also your talent for putting together a story in video form. Respect Guga!
Great cook guys!!! It took me 6 months to duplicate Katz's recipe two years ago, and you have pretty much nailed it here. A few things to consider: Katz actually brines for 3 weeks, smokes for 48+ hours, then boils & steams to temp before serving. Thus: Brining for at least 2 weeks is VERY important. My first few tries I cooked in the smoker for six hours, which was pretty decent. On my 3rd attempt I used sous vide then smoked for 3 hours & it was near perfection.
I live in NYC and never been to Katz, but! I've gone to plenty of other delis with legendary pastrami sandwiches before they closed. I really should make a trip over to Katz one day.
Guga, I've only been following your channel for 2 weeks. I love cooking and never knew about Sous Vide. I have not been able to stop watching. In that time, I've bought an entire Sous Vide beginners kit. I am doing my first steaks tomorrow and have already done chicken thighs which came out AAAMAZING! Love these videos. Keep up the awesome work!
I being born in NY have had plenty of Katz. My favorite is pastrami 364 days of the year but on that one day St. Patricks day is corned beef , cabbage, potatoes, carrots,pearl onions toasted rye with butter and a tall cold glass of Guinness.
This is the video I have been waiting for. I don't live in NYC but I love visiting and I always hit Katz's. Pure bliss over here. I'd love to see what you guys could come up with for seasonings and such (as Brazil doesn't have Pastrami just like the US doesn't do Picanha) because I bet there are ways while it would no longer be a true "pastrami" but the crust could be changed to season it with something like Guga's Rub that would certainly still make an amazing sandwich. I should try that too...
I really wish I had a spare refrigerator to brine a brisket for 5 days or age some beef for a month. It's only 8:30 in the morning when watching this and I really want a pastrami sandwich now!
Great video! Note that all sauerkraut is not created equal: pickle the variety of cabbage you like and do it at home! The Boar's Head brand is pretty good, though. I'll take my light rye without caraway seeds, please.
I like that you used an ice maker for homemade ice. I've never been a fan of store bought ice. I would recommend the equilibrium cure dry brining. Once I tried it, I never looked back to water brining.
I live in Indianapolis and we have Shapiros’s deli it’s been open since 1905 they make all their meats in house , they have best rueben I’ve ever had but I’m definitely trying Katz next time in NYC thanks Guga
I re watched and Guga stated 250 degrees on the temp for smoking, however he just stated that he smoked it just long enough for the color. I would like to know how long as well?
Im drooling here Guga,.....I've been to. " New York"....and LOVED the deli sandwiches,....im from London originally (where we had great deli places in the 70s...) But now for the last 14 years I've lived on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus....NO deli ,no Sandwiches only BBQ kebabs...... I miss a good deli sandwich.
Im right with ya Guga.. I LOVE Sauerkraut.. I think its just because I love pickled stuff and salt. But man there is seriously nothing like a good pork roast cooked down in a crock pot with sauerkraut and serving it over mashed potatoes... its like a New Years day tradition to eat unbelievable amounts of Pork and Sauerkraut xDDDD so close to that 1 million subs! Keep it up!
Here's the next step -- travel to Montreal and try the Smoked Meat (Viande Fumee) -- it's pastrami's more savory-leaning cousin. It is enough of an icon that you will see it in many forms (e.g. smoked meat pizza, poutine, nachos, hot dogs). They also use the whole brisket, so you have the option of fattier and/or leaner cuts from the same brisket. There are major battles about which one is the best, but unarguably the most _famous_ is Schwartz's. It's Montreal's equivalent of Katz's, except about half the cost for the same food. I did frequent Dunn's and Reuben's a lot, but mainly because both were a short walk from where I worked, and between the two, Dunn's is my preference. I personally really liked Snowdon Deli, though and it was also much closer to where I lived and the variety of things they offered is greater. Another great thing they offered was a Montreal-style slaw, which is not a creamy mayo-based coleslaw like you get in the U.S., but a vinaigrette-dressed slaw that comes off almost like an early-stage sauerkraut when it is just starting to get a hint of funk to it, but retains that crunch of fresh cabbage. It's a lot more popular there as a hot dog topping, but I'd often get it on a smoked meat platter.
I try the recipe and it was fantastic. However, i also try a 48h in the bath and the tenderness is so much better than at 24h, much closer to thereal thing!!thanks Guga!!
Thank you so much! We made this for my dad's 90th birthday. He grew up in Brooklyn and fondly remembers the Carnegie Deli where "the fat would drip off your elbow"

Thank you jordan.
What does this even mean you act like New York is where this was created
@@cgaal17 I mean if he lives in New York hes had enough pastrami to know if its up to the New York standard
C G Katz’s is a landmark in NYC and the food is great, and what guga made really lives up to the standard, that’s all
As someone from Holland I'm now just hungry af...
I wanna see how you make “carne de sol”

Can someone get this man a show on Food Network? I dont think there is one video of his I haven't watched start to finish.

Guga is such a humble guy, I love people like this, keep doing what you're doing
I love Korean food, Kimchi in particular. I love Reuben sandwiches also but when I make Reubens at home I replace the sauerkraut with Kimchi. Absolute heaven.
I don't cook much, but Kimchi in a Reuben sounds-----extremely delicious! I'd eat that in a nanosecond.

Thank you T JAKE!
Guga, next time you're in New York, try Pastrami Queen on the Upper East Side. Also a killer sandwich and Jewish Deli!
You have to try Sauerbraten with Rotkraut and Semelknödel.
It’s my favourite german dish.
Have you ever considered making a series where you go to famous places and try to recreate the dish?

Does longer brine make it more salty?
Yea its crazy how many steps they take to make it but damn they have a fantastic pastrami. Super complex taste that hits hard

I live in NYC and never been to Katz, but! I've gone to plenty of other delis with legendary pastrami sandwiches before they closed. I really should make a trip over to Katz one day.
If you ever do, please let me know if it’s the best you’ve had. Or if it’s just extremely good regardless.
8:46 Guga lets us see the taste 😂
🤣
Alex Wietholz drugs. A lot of drugs. And I swear you’ll smell colors.
Katz uses Beef Navel for Pastrami and Beef Brisket for Corned Beef.
This is epic! I will for sure give this one a try. I love when you take us traveling with you and then show us your take on the recipe
Try it!
I love when you do travel videos and recreate it back at home on both channels! My favorite
I think of the Reuben of being the Rubix Cube of sandwiches...
You either like all the complexities or you hate them!

@Sous Vide Everything what did you like better, sousvide or smoked? They both looked great. I tried getting beef navel to make one. No luck yet.

In Montreal we smoke for a certain temperature and then 24 hours later we steam it in a water steamer, just like Katz. That gives a very unique taste

Hey Guga! Was just wondering if any of the company's you use to get your meats, like wagyu or other high end meats, do they deliver to Canada?!
