“Papa believes in you” thanks Josh, needed that today.
Me aswell
you can do it!
Same
Oh God don't encourage him referring to himself as papa... soo cringe
Same
I’m starting to realize I watch josh for entertainment and not recipes because I’ve only ever made like 4 things from this whole channel because the recipes are usually ludicrous 😂
Same.
How did it turn out?
Yep!
I think the only thing I ever tried to do myself was the white bread which was super simple but hands down one of the best white breads I ever had in my life.
Most of the viewers are broke students that love food but have to live on noodles and fast food
Josh's falsetto just keeps getting better and better.
Think he was singing some Halo.
When Josh makes his videos, there is never a dull moment. & That sandwich I just know is delicious. California would sure love you even more if you opened up your own restaurant business cause everybody knows that you sure know what your doing in that kitchen.. we love ya, keep on with these videos.
Couple Pro tips from a pitmaster: grind all your fat trimmings, put it in a deep pan, throw it in the smoker when you put your brisket in, and render the crap out it. Strain it, and badabing, you’ve got smoked beef tallow, the best cooking oil you’ll ever have. If you want a ✨crunchy bark✨ on your brisket, keep the point attached, and instead of butcher paper wrap, boat the brisket with a double layer of foil, keep the top of the brisket exposed. You’ll have a crunchy top, and the fat from the point will run down and become braising liquid for your lean brisket.
Nice tip for a good sugar cookie!
Woah that sounds delicious! Hoping papa will see this!
Can you do that with a regular brisket? Cause I've always struggled with the texas crutch / solid bark dilemma
@Jay Rozes 😂😂😂
@@jackbreuhaus6244 Absolutely! Do it all the time! 👍🏻
At this point, I don't think you even need to mention "from scratch". It's sort of the least I expect from this channel now😅
I thought he was going to start from picking up a cow from a farm
For the new viewers
Exactly !! ;-)
Oh come on that's not fully from scratch. He didn't grow his own spices or even make the mayo and ketchup lmao! Papa went easy on you!
That looks incredible 🤤 About 3 years ago I bought my husband a smoker for his birthday..... It was the best gift ever, basically for the whole family LOL Please do a smoked fish recipe !
I was inspired by this video to try it myself and today, right now, I'm taking the brisket out of the brine, about to season it and then into the smok it goes!
Why did I wake up in a cold sweat and instantly grab my phone and open KZhead just to watch this video about pastrami?
LMAO
Same😌
Lol
Honestly a universal experience at this point
Salvation comes in many forms
Josh: "personally, I think wagyu is the best candidate for pastrami" Me, checking my bank account: "Well I guess no pastrami for me"
You can have it for the low price of only $150!
Yeah, wouldn’t using wagyu kinda defeat the reason pastrami was invented in the first place...
I was thinking about using Wyagu for pastrami during the video. I can’t find a decent pastrami sandwich here in Miami. I’m really looking into making my own.
Use brisket baby
@@dinoflagella4185 Why the fuck would you use wagyu when the Romani people were just using beef navel?
This is an amazing recipe. Only change I made was to make the entire time and never put it in the oven. It was perfect. Thanks for the awesome content - great sandwich.
Followed this recipe, absolutly flawless. Amazing meal, clear instructions. I cheated and smoked for just 3 hours and finished in the oven. Best meat project i ever made, Chapeau Joshua U are a genius.
LMAOOOO all the boys makin the lip-bite-eyebrows-raised face behind the camera had me DEAD

I call it the ✨fuck boy✨face
I didn’t even notice lmao
That's the, "I don't know, friend, sounds kinda sus to me..." kind of face, lol.
The boys: can we have a Pastrami, papa? Joss Papa: sure, make sure you come back here after 1 week.
Lmfao sandwich preoder
@boy lasagna lol ik cant spell🙃
LOL
@@darksteel6231 yeah but you also did make a typo
But that 1 week is worth the wait
This is by far the best pastrami recipe video online...or anywhere.
It's so freaking amazing that no matter what I wanna try at home papa got me covered with a recipie. Thank and love you papa ♥
At this point the definition of B-roll is just anything Josh damn well pleases.
Do you know what else is full of hot meat waiting to be spanked? B-roll!
Damn right

@@kingmankingboy8743 what is this?
"Wagyu makes the best candidate for pastrami" yep lemme go over to my refrigerated limousine and grab a big slab of the stuff.
And by that you mean you have a refrigerator for your limo, to keep it fresh, because that's still cheaper than the Wagyu, am I right?
I'm rolling 😂
That’s a pleb move. I get on my private jet (that has a food industry grade fridge) and get it straight from Japan all the time. Poor people would never understand! Tuh!
I made this last may for my friends and it was a huge hit. Making it again for the first… second annual pastrami day!
Why is his singing getting progressively more and more angelic? Like. That Whisky Business hit different.
Joshi boi if you would make a cookbook and put this recipe in it that would be BUSSIN, respectfully.
Joshua weisman my good sir, say hypothetically you were in possession of the rights to your own cook book, say you were to put the recipe featured on this video, in said book, thats would be quote on quote *"Bussin"* respectfully.
@@thebasementbum4570 indeed fellow comenteur
“A Weissman once said” should be the title
I think we've finally hit the saturation point on the little falsetto asides.
the saturation point is 0
Thanks so much for saying that
Not even close.
this looks so good and you are fun to watch. so enthusiastic i like it. thank you.
Papa : “pastrami is easy to make” Also papa : “76 hours in the smoker” Me : “aight imma head out”
You say that as if it's difficult for something to just...Sit there.

I cannot believe how good this looks. This is one of the best videos you have done, honestly.
loved the video! I'm probably making pastrami for an event this coming weekend.
Made this following your instructions to the T. Best pastrami ever - and I'm a Jewish girl from NY - so that's saying something. Thank you so much for your videos, they are awesome!
Josh is preparing a smooth transition into singing when he want to take a break from cooking vids
I'm just waiting for the song to drop at this point.

This be like the 4th time I've watched this video start to finish. I want to familiarize myself with the process so I don't have to keep going back to play-pause endlessly. With all of your goofy antics, (you know, having fun), I'm in and just subscribed.
OMG Great spices.. Could not stop from opening the oven door every 20-30 min to get that fresh Pastrami aroma!!
I have to start today so I can make a sándwich on monday.
"You know what else has Papa's juicy meats, and..." "I like 'em on the THICC side"... I'm not even going to answer that.
Had fun watching this video! Good job 👏
That B-roll intro was one of the best ones yet. Probably the best one yet. Kudos to the editor on that one.
Followed joshua 4 years ago and never skipped a single video his videos are a mix between funny ,satisfaction, and perfection.
Earliest I've been to a video. Tis 1am here in Australia. I ain't even mad.
LITTERALLY SAME
I love pastrami and this video has me leaving to get some RN !!
❤❤❤❤Amazing …. Going to Try it…. Actually cannot wait to try it.
“If you’ve never had a good pastrami...” Dude, I’ve never even seen pastrami in my home country
You poor unfortunate soul
Where ya from?
Same, never seen a pastrami or heard of it, I saw Joey love it from friends and wanted to see how to make it
Oh me planning on a diet could neverr after watching this video.
this fits into a diet .. just cut off more of the fat . and eat small portions . sourkraut is great for weight loss and pastrami being tender means you dont need fatty meats to get tenderness .
God damn man that looks so damn delicious! Also, I'd like to say how much I love the amount of times you made me laugh throughout this video. Your edits are amazing. Love your work dude!
I made a homemade pastrami out of managers special corned beef after st patty's day. It was like beef bacon, fantastic. I cant imagine how good it'll come out of I brine it myself and pick out a thick Prime Brisket. Mmmm I'm adding that to my to-do list. I'll eat the flat as corned beef, smoke the point, and get out the deli slicer.
Josh's flex game went hard on this one. I'm loving it.
The imperfect circle around the W in the end credits is FREAKING ME OUT
Lollll I didn’t even notice but wtf??
You nailed it with this one Josh. What can you not make? Pastrami is down right respect.
"Separating the point from the flat." I have yet to buy a whole brisket, but I'm about to, and this idea/plan makes so much sense I doubt I will ever not do it. I didn't hear it here first, but you get two thumbs up out of an available three for being the third one to suggest it.
PAPA IS BACK WITH THE MEAT
am I the only one that would love to see a video of Josh while he's doing a voice over? I would for sure watch it
This channel is one of a kind and I love it. I love when TJ was sheeshin
You and your team are awesome. You make me look good in front of my friends. Thank you.
We had this last night and it was amazing! Will defiantly be making this again.
I've only made pastrami from scratch once and there is a reason for that. Yes the end product was delicious but it was so time consuming to make. Also given the way brisket prices have gone it was cheaper to buy it from my nearby excellent deli
This is awesome. Great work.
Worth the time.. I kept mine whole ... Overnight rest is key ; cook on a Saturday , serve on a Sunday....
Shoutout to the camera crew! its probably so nice to have papa joshua cooking and sharing with yaalll lmao
Favorite moment is when you held up the slice and said, "Look at that" and I had just looked away when it went to a Charmin toilet paper commercial where all it said was "That's Huge!!!" And I thought it was still you lol. The perfect commercial at the perfect time, and I cannot stop laughing 🤣
uuuhhhhhhh... what... what was huge in the room and context in which toilet paper is used? The turd?
@@CaTastrophy427 😂😂😂 it was how big the new rolls were 🤣🤣🤣
Wow. That looks so good. I've been trying new ways to smoke and cure meat. I am doing my first corned beef. I just might turn it into pastrami.
I find Pastrami very special, so thank you for this!
Love pastamis! Looks perfect! If your doing a 6-7 days of brine, you can skip the cure salt to keep it natural. It does preserve the color of the meat, but it's also a preservation chimical ingredient. If you doing an equalibrium brine which takes at least two weeks, then it's very important to us cure salt to prevent any chance of botulism. Anyways, love you style of cooking and demonstration 🙂 BTW, I know that in USA is common to make pastamis from brisket, but you must try other cuts also that, such as eye of round. Middle Eastern pastrami is made from turkey breast wish is one of my kids favorite pastami.
Even regular salt is a preservation chemical ingredient. Everything is a chemical. Water is a chemical. Pastrami doesn't look correct without the color, and there's nothing wrong with nitrites. You can achieve the same thing by using celery juice, because celery has a ton of nitrates in it (which turns into nitrites when we consume it), but it's still considered healthy anyway. Same with spinach, tons of nitrates. You get significantly more nitrates from a stalk of celery than a few ounces of cured meats (around 1496 ppm vs 32 ppm, respectively) Things with more nitrates than a cured meat: Beets, spinach, celery, mushrooms, broccoli, strawberries. Nitrites in the body actually can be beneficial, too, since they turn intro nitric oxide which can help with lowering blood pressure. It's only when you have too high of concentrations of nitrites that it may increase the chance of cancer, so just eat in moderation, just like anything else. Also, stop fearmongering.
"papa still kiss" had me rolling ilysm joshua
So much time and process put into making it. Now I understand why pastrami is so expensive.👍🏻
Thank you . You just made my day a little better
"Wagyu is the best !?-1:36 How much money do you think I have?
I used Josh's recipe for curing ham and it was phenomenal! Would love a Montreal smoked meat episode! Please Papa!! ❤️
I really liked the style of the presentation.
Hey Josh, looks delicious! Do you halve the brine if you halve the meat? And how long can it be stored in the fridge? Does it freeze?
josh we need a rye bread recipe (and a B-roll music playlist)
I was waiting for this!!
You’re awesome man thank you for this video
Can we appreciate joshes singing skills getting consistently better😂
Who else is early gang?! Also.. that accent in the beginning, wooooot

@Jacob Moreno arcos The important things is you are here! :D
Looks incredible!!! I need!!!!
Normally I smoke my briskets Texas style, but I need to try this.
PAPA SLAPS THE MEAT OUT!!!!
You always put out great videos!!
Great to finally know after all these years of loving pastrami just how it's made. WA-A-AY too much work, so I'll settle for others doing it and eating theirs. But fun video.
I found this when I was on the final "phase" of Babish's pastrami technique. Very similar but some extra elements with Joshua's and very entertaining.
I started cooking with babish many years ago, I have a love for him but he is for sure a more “basic” version of cooking. No pun intended lol Josh is when u start to get good!
@@briantemple9791 Josh definitely goes harder on "production", sometimes to the videos detriment (like this one). I like how Babish's get to the point. I'm not here to watch a sitcom!
5:15 I really want to focus on the pastrami but that GOD DAMN CAKEEE
I was embarrassed by my reaction to Papa’s thicci buns
Thank you lord for this heavenly meal!
Looks so delectable 🤤
Great recipe thank you! Can you lls advise how you store the leftovers and reuse it?
someone make a montage of all the times josh has said "this is a perfect sandwich in my opinion"
I've never heard of "Russian dressing". Sounds like a version of sauce called "thousand island" Ps. I'm from Russia :)
They're pretty close and frankly interchangeable for the purposes of constructing a Reuben.
It looks like Thousand, at least.
Subscribed because you sir made me feel like I need a Reuben. I will reenact this vid next time I do a brisket. I can't freaking wait.
Joshua, I don't know if you still keep up with your old videos, but I'd like to tell you my story and ask some questions. Last Sunday I followed your instructions to the letter in making the brine. I did heat it up so that everything dissolved, then put it in the fridge overnight. On Monday I bought a 3.5 pound brisket flat (that was all I could find), put it in my sous vide vessel and poured in the brine. Unfortunately the brine was not enough to fully cover the brisket so I made a second batch of brine (exactly the same as the first), and poured it in. Flipped after three days. Yesterday (Monday) pulled the brisket out, pat dried it with paper towels, and put it back in the now empty sous vide vessel and added two gallons of purified water. It was in the clear water less than 16 hours when I removed the brisket, pat dried it again, covered it all side liberally with your pastrami rub concoction, and stuck it in my electric smoker set at 225 degrees, burning combination of Jack Daniels oak barrel chips, and hickory chips. Took it out after about five hours because internal temperature hit 157 degrees. Put it on rack over boiling water, tented it with aluminum foil, and let it sit in the oven at your prescribed temperature until I had to leave for a Purim party at my shul. Wrapped it in fish paper (my butcher doesn't have butcher paper.) When I came back from the party I checked it out. Looked like pastrami! Smelled like pastrami! Flavored like pastrami! However, it lacked the juicyness of pastrami and the visceral consistency of pastrami; i.e. it wasn't rubbery, and it didn't fall apart. Was closer to the consistency of a steak. My question is: where did I go wrong? How do I improve for next time?
Why is this episode not called PAPAStrami?!! JOSHUA!!
So I was cleaning some dudes teeth recently and he told me (my tools were out of his mouth btw) he's been really into a cooking youtube guy and I was like "oh Josh" and he goes "yea wtf how did you know that?!" and I was like "Because that's my PAPA" and he got up and left! Just kidding, we just vibed about Josh videos, 'twas fun!
For me, this story ends with you saying Papa and you can't take that from me.
My pastrami had a grey spot in the centre after smoking and steaming, just like the one in the video. Is it still safe to eat and store?
Watching turkey series dirilis ertugrul make me want to try this. Looks delicious. Good chef
Also I see you with the absolute FLEX w/ the Gucci slides
"...papa's preference is LAW around here, so you should probably do that" me: **fearful nodding**
The Ruben is the best sandwich, thank you for this.
Fantastic videos, great crew
Nobody: Josh from scratch: “First we convert the collagen into keratin before we grow our fingernails….”
Me, a vegetarian: "Why yes, I did need this information, thank you papá"
I just knew papa this afternoon. --it's nightime now-- anyways!!! I'm still watching papa and wow, THAT ENERGY IS CONTAGIOUS!! Thanks for believing on us papa. T.T
Just a tip from someone who has been doing this for a long time: if you are going to use the point and the flat to make your pastrami, do yourself a favor and make slices progressively thinner from point to flat, as well as making sure you are slicing accross the grain. You get a huge difference in texture and flavor that gives you many more sandwich options. Also, pastrami just might be the perfect meat for a wrap. You gotta try it.
Papa is still overestimating our budget, kitchen and mental capacity with his recipes lol
Plenty of subs for Budget and Awesome Flavor!!
Who dislikes this video? Seriously, at the time I saw this there were 101 dislikes. Josh is a national treasure.
