Deli pastrami is a seasoned and smoked meat typically made from beef, though variations with turkey or other meats exist. Originating from Eastern European Jewish cuisine, it became a staple in American delicatessens, particularly in New York City. Traditionally prepared by curing the meat with salt and spices, then smoking and steaming it, pastrami has a bold, smoky flavor and tender texture. It’s commonly served thinly sliced on sandwiches or paired with rye bread and mustard. Pastrami is protein-rich and provides essential nutrients like iron and B vitamins. However, it can be high in sodium and saturated fats due to the curing process and marbling in the meat. Moderation is key when enjoying this deli classic, as excessive consumption may impact heart health. Opting for leaner cuts or pairing it with nutrient-dense sides, like leafy greens, can make it a more balanced choice.
