Barbecue: Pastrami

The taste was even better than its good looks. The meat had the exact salty, spicy, smoky flavor you'd expect from a good pastrami, and eating it hot off the smoker was an incredible treat. (Now you understand why I was making that beer mustard earlier this week.)

Easy Homemade Pastrami (No Smoker)

An easy homemade Pastrami for everyone who does have a Jewish deli next door. Tender, juicy, with the signature pastrami spice crust. Astonishingly easy!

Brisket inspired by The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel — Binging With Babish

Passover approaches, and thanks to the magnificent meal made by Midge Maisel, we've got a great excuse to whip up some Jewish BBQ on the show. Slowly braised to tender perfection in a delicate balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors, this brisket outshines even charoset at the Seder table. And t

The Pastrami Burger Bomb

For best results, grind your own beef. A straight chuck grind would work, but the Blue Label Blend is better....

Teamster Sandwich inspired by 30 Rock — Binging With Babish

You haven't heard of sandwich day? It's one special day each year that the teamsters gleefully hand out roast beef, fresh mozzarella, and roast red pepper sandwiches with special dipping sauce from their secret Brooklyn deli.

Duck Pastrami

Building on past pastrami success, I changed things up by using duck instead of beef. The salty, peppery, and luscious fat is something to lust over.

The Broodwich inspired by Aqua Teen Hunger Force — Binging With Babish

This week, to celebrate Halloween, I bend my no-fantasy-food-rule in favor of that most unholy of sandwiches, the Broodwich.

Pastrami Benedict from 'The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home'

Eggs Benedict is not something I would normally make at home. I usually prefer to let the experts whisk hollandaise and poach eggs for me. But Nick Zukin and Michael C. Zusman's latke-based, pastrami-topped rendition in The Artisan Jewish Deli at Home was too tempting to pass up.

The Liz Lemon inspired by 30 Rock — Binging With Babish

This week, we conclude our (unintentional) sandwich trilogy with Liz Lemon’s innovative take on a classic Reuben, particularly her inspired inclusion of potato chips as a condiment. Grab your night cheese and get ready for a visit from MeatCat - can’t think of any other 30 Rock references? That’s a

Richard Blais's Brisket with Coriander, Black Pepper, and Brown Sugar

With Passover right around the corner, it is the perfect time to perfect a roast brisket recipe. For something different than the standard salt, pepper, and go method, look no further than Richard Blais's Brisket with Coriander, Black Pepper, and Brown Sugar. Hidden towards the back of his new cookbook, Try This at Home, this brisket is piquant enough to awaken any family member dozing in the middle of an hours-long dinner.
