You can make your own Beantown Pastrami sandwiches at home. Our fresh steamed and sliced pastrami is now available by the pound. We weigh the meat for each individual order and place it in a zip lock bag with some of the pastrami juices it was steamed in. (Note: The weight of the juices are not part of what you pay for.) Store the pastrami in your refrigerator and it should ideally be used within a few days.
Serving Suggestions: Using a favorite bread (seeded rye is the most popular) and mustard you can make a sandwich. By combining with coleslaw, Swiss cheese and Russian or Thousand Island dressing you can make your own Rachel (grilled is most popular) or change the coleslaw to sauerkraut or pickled cabbage for a Pastrami Reuben. We suggest warming before serving. Note: Leftover pastrami can be used with your scrambled eggs or if you blend with potatoes and onions it makes a delicious pastrami hash.
Warming Instructions: The best method to warm up the pastrami is to heat some water in a pan or a microwavable bowl. Turn off the heat source and place the zip lock bag into the water for 8 to 10 minutes - just long enough to warm it up. Remember that the
moisture gives it more flavor and taste. Avoid over heating the pastrami.
