Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
4 lbs / 2kg good corned beef, with a thick fat cap (See Note)

SPICE MIX:
▢4 tbsp fresh coarsely ground black pepper
▢2 tbsp coriander powder
▢1 1/2 tsp mustard powder
▢1 tbsp brown sugar
▢1 tbsp smoked paprika
▢2 tsp garlic powder
▢2 tsp onion powder
▢2 tbsp liquid smoke (optional)
Directions:
Directions:
Mix Spice Mix and spread out on a tray. Pat beef dry then roll in Spice Mix, coating well all over. Sprinkle with liquid smoke it using (I rarely use this).
Place beef fat cap side down and wrap in a large sheet of foil. Repeat again with another sheet of foil and flip the beef so the fat cap is on the top.
Place rack in slow cooker (Note 2), place beef on rack. Slow cook for 10 hours on low or electric pressure cook for 1 hour 40 minutes (see notes for oven).
Remove beef, cool then refrigerate for 6 hours +. Reserve juices in slow cooker.
Unwrap beef. Place rack on tray, place beef on rack. Bake 30 minutes at 180C/350F until spice crust is set.
Remove from oven, slice thinly - pastrami will be tender. Place some pastrami in a dish, spoon over a bit of reserved juices. Cover and microwave to warm (I like to add a slice of Swiss cheese).
New York Deli style Pastrami Sandwich: Pile high on toasted rye bread slathered with plenty of mustard of choice. Serve with pickles on the side! Plus plain potato crisps (for the full deli experience!)

Personal Notes:
Because this is an easy Pastrami recipe, start with a store bought corned beef. This is beef that's been brined and is sold vac packed, and it's an economical cut.
