This is my version of the pastrami sandwich, perhaps the most popular sandwich in New York!
Pastrami is a type of smoked and pickled meat, originally from Romania. There, it was usually made from lamb meat, but nowadays it is mainly prepared with beef. The difference with corned beef? In pastrami, the spices are clearly visible, while corned beef has a smoother appearance.
This sandwich has truly everything: crispy, creamy, umami, crispy, and very Instagrammable! The pastrami I use is from Holstein cattle, served cold, lightly marbled with fat, and bursting with flavor.
