That was not a problem for my family but it made it a little difficult to review since it is supposed to be pastrami! Pastrami is the highly seasoned smoked beef prepared especially from shoulder cuts that was created in New York City and has now become popular all over the world. It is now traditionally prepared with beef, but it can also be prepared with pork, mutton, or turkey. Turkey pastrami has become the most popular alternative to the traditional beef version.

- Spread mustard over top of pastrami..
- From the bottom, roll the tortilla tight..

Pastrami is preserved in much the way that meat has been for thousands of years: in a salt mixture to prevent bacteria from growing. The great thing about pastrami is that it, like ham, it also tastes great smoked. Pastrami starts with corned beef (salted beef with spices) and is then smoked to add flavor and aid in preservation. Because of its lengthy and laborious process, very few delis still cure and carve their own pastrami. Zukin and Zusman have whittled down the process to a very simple, doable recipe that requires relatively little effort..
