Pastrami is a type of cured meat, typically made from beef, that is seasoned with a blend of spices, including black pepper, garlic, and coriander. The meat is usually cut from the brisket or round and undergoes a process of brining, smoking, and steaming, which gives it a distinctive flavor and tender texture. Often served in sandwiches, pastrami is a popular deli item, especially in Jewish cuisine. It is commonly paired with rye bread, mustard, and pickles, making it a favorite choice for many sandwich lovers.
