Peppered Pastrami

Peppered Pastrami

EverydayCooked

Peppered pastrami is a seasoned deli meat made from beef brisket that undergoes brining, smoking, and a heavy coating of cracked black pepper. Originating from Eastern European preservation techniques and popularized in American Jewish cuisine, this protein-rich meat has a bold, smoky flavor with pronounced peppery heat. While it provides 15-20g of protein per 3-ounce serving, its sodium content is notably high due to the curing process, and it's typically served thinly sliced in sandwiches or charcuterie boards.
