Pastrami beef is a seasoned, smoked, and typically cured meat made from beef brisket or round cuts. Originating from Eastern European Jewish cuisine, it was brought to the U.S., where it became a delicatessen staple, particularly in New York City. The preparation involves brining the meat with a mix of salt, sugar, and spices, followed by smoking and steaming to achieve its tender texture and bold flavor. Pastrami is rich in protein and iron, but its curing process can lead to higher sodium levels. The spice crust, often including pepper, coriander, garlic, and mustard seeds, adds flavor without calories. While pastrami can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderating portion size and pairing it with nutrient-rich sides can help offset its salt content for healthier consumption.
