How to Make Goose and Duck Pastrami (Video Guide Included!)
-
Prepare Your Meat
- Start with a couple of cleaned goose or duck breasts, skin on or off.
- Pat the meat dry to remove excess moisture. This helps the curing process, as Jordan explains in the video here.
-
Apply the Cure
- Generously coat each breast with the cure rub from the kit. This process draws out moisture and infuses the meat with flavor.
- Place the seasoned breasts in a ziplock bag, remove as much air as possible, and refrigerate for 2-3 days. Be sure to flip the bag daily to ensure even curing.
-
Rinse and Soak
- After curing, rinse the cure off in cool water. Then, let the meat soak in a bowl of water for 30 minutes to reduce saltiness, as Jordan demonstrates in the video. This step is key for balanced flavor.
-
Apply the Spice Rub
- Pat the breasts dry once more, ensuring they’re slightly tacky for optimal spice adherence.
- Coat each side generously with the spice rub from the kit, creating that classic pastrami crust.
-
Smoke the Meat
- For the best flavor, smoke the breasts at 250°F until they reach an internal temperature of 150°F. Jordan’s video shows you the best way to achieve this if you’re using a smoker or even an oven for a similar result.
- Let the meat rest for a few minutes, then slice and enjoy!
-
Savor the Flavor
- Hot or cold, this pastrami is incredible. Enjoy it on rye with mustard, in a sandwich, or on a charcuterie board.
