big smoke day tomorrow
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 05:45
I have a big weekend for food coming up. Fortunately I am not working tomorrow. Tomorrow I have a 1.5kg boneless ham to smoke and then poach, a Kg of chorizo to smoke and bake, 1.7 kg of beef pastrami to smoke and bake and 3kg of loin bacon to smoke and bake. There has not been much room in the fridge for much else. Thank goodness for the fresh salad, carrots etc growing in the garden. I will also make a couple of loafs of bread.
After my success with the lamb pastrami I decide to make some beef pastrami. Because of the availability of beef I ended up getting a bolar roast (top side roast). The beef does not have a big cap of fat on it. Is there a risk that it will get dry when I smoke and bake it? if so any suggestions how to avoid that?
I have heard of people steaming pastrami. Am I right in assuming that this method is used to heat the pastrami rather than bake/cook it?
