Beef pastrami is a flavorful cured meat, traditionally made from beef brisket or round, seasoned with a blend of spices like coriander, black pepper, garlic, and mustard seeds. Originating from Eastern European Jewish cuisine, pastrami gained popularity in deli-style sandwiches, especially in American cuisine. The preparation involves brining the meat, applying a spice rub, and smoking it for a rich, savory taste. While beef pastrami is high in protein, it also contains significant amounts of sodium due to the curing process. Some versions may have added fats depending on the cut, making it more calorie-dense. It can fit into a balanced diet when enjoyed in moderation and paired with whole-grain bread, fresh vegetables, or low-calorie sides. However, individuals watching their sodium intake should consider consuming smaller portions. Pastrami is a versatile and indulgent deli favorite enjoyed worldwide for its aromatic spices and tender texture.
