Pastrami

Pastrami is a cured or pickled navel or plate of beef. After pickling, it is coated with spices. Smoked and cooked to a minimum integral temperature of 160 degrees. This yields a fully cooked and flavorful product, ready to slice and serve cold or warmed in a steamer.


Today, National Deli produces Pastrami for a variety of venues:

- Pastrami Flats (from the bottom round)
- First Cut Pastrami (from the Brisket)
- Patrami Eye Round (also from the bottom round)
