Pork tenderloin pastrami. Pastroma - what is it and step-by-step recipes for cooking chicken, pork and beef at home

Long before electricity and refrigeration were available, people in their culinary experiments over meat pursued one goal - to keep a large volume of the product edible as much as possible long time: most extant recipes meat delicacies owe their appearance to this problem. Let's try today to repeat the proven for centuries cooking method one of these meals pork pastrami at home. The recipe with a photo will help to observe all the subtleties and soon a delicious, spiced, thinly sliced from pastrami.

What is pastrami

People who are far from cooking often confuse pastrami with basturma or boiled pork, which is not surprising, because all three dishes have a similar recipe, appeared at about the same time, equally tasty and nutritious. But there is a distinctive nuance: meat for pastrami is pre-soaked in brine or marinade for several hours.

Exist two main versions of origin delicacy names:

  • The inhabitants of Romania are sure that the meat flavored with spices is called pastrami by the verb a păstra (to preserve). Romanian women from time immemorial they have been preparing this dish, gathering husbands in long way or simply wanting to conserve food stocks.
  • Equally likely the name could come from the Turkic“pastrima” or “basturma”, meaning a piece of beef smeared with spices, and then dried by the wind and sun, from the duffel bag of an equestrian warrior.

Whatever it was, now the dish is traditional for Romanians, Moldovans and ... New York Jews! At the turn of the 20th century, immigrants from Israel going to New World in search of a better life, they took pastrami on a two-week voyage. Delicacy It turned out to be so practical and tasty that it quickly took root in the new homeland.

For cooking Pastrami can use almost all types of meat and even poultry. So the Americans cook it from beef, turkey, duck. finished productthinly sliced and served with fresh bread for breakfast or put on a festive table, beautifully laid out and decorated with greenery. Residents of some regions of Moldova and Romania will also offer you thin slices of beef pastrami, but still pork recipe is traditional, which we will try to implement today in our kitchen.

List of ingredients

Essentially pastrami - whole piece of meat, soaked in brine and baked in spices, and therefore let's start with the choice of pork: success in cooking a delicacy almost completely depends on its quality. At the time of buying comply with the following rules:

  • We give preference large, not too fatty pieces, weighing about one and a half kg. In the process of salting and baking according to the recipe, the pork will noticeably decrease in volume.
  • Suitable carcass parts - loin, carbonade, tenderloin.
  • Pork should only be fresh, chilled. Thawed meat has a completely different structure; pastrami will turn out loose from it.

The second most important step in the recipe is marinade seasoning mix, which after heat treatment will become even beautiful crust on the surface of the pork. For the marinade need:

  • Sweet ground paprika.
  • provence herbs.
  • A mixture of peppers.
  • Mustard in grains.
  • Honey.
  • Apple vinegar.

Necessary make sure in advance that at home there will definitely be 1 tbsp. a spoonful of each of the listed components and olive oil. We will also prepare water and salt for pre-salting pork.

Inventory requirements are minimal, we need: a small bowl for sauce, a container for salting meat, paper napkins, parchment and foil for baking, special heat-resistant twine.

Pork pastrami - recipe

The most ideal part of pork for pastrami is the tenderloin, but any other piece can be used, as long as it is of uniform thickness and does not contain a lot of fat. The meat must be washed under running water.

Pour salt into a bowl of a suitable size, pour water. Stir until the salt grains are completely dissolved. Place the pork in the prepared solution. The liquid should completely cover the meat. Leave the pork bowl at room temperature for 2-3 hours.

Prepare spices for dressing. Pour coriander seeds, red pepper and a mixture of ground peppers into a shallow container. Break the bay leaf into small pieces with your hands.

Throw in the French mustard.

Pour in vegetable oil, mix.

Remove the pork from the saline solution, coat on all sides with the prepared mixture. Put the meat on the foil.

Wrap the pork tenderloin tightly in foil (preferably in 2 layers), place in a refractory baking dish. Put in the oven, preheated to a temperature of 200 degrees for exactly 25 minutes.

cooking secrets

In order for the pastrami to turn out really tender and not become dry, the following rules must be observed:

  1. For cooking, take only young meat, especially beef and pork. Mature meat is tougher, it will not be able to bake for a short time, and when it is increased, it will become dry.
  2. After marinating in the solution, always dry the meat thoroughly, otherwise the spices will slide off it, and the crust will turn out with bald spots.
  3. Bake the pastrami food foil: It will not dry out.
  4. After heat treatment, be sure to leave the finished dish in the switched off oven or slow cooker for several hours to make the meat more tender.
  5. Soak the meat in saline for several hours (up to a day). This will help keep the meat juicy and tender.

Processing is subjected to loin: ham, shoulder, tenderloin, loin, neck (when cutting the carcass, they are called the “neck”), that is, a massive piece without bone, skin and wide fat layers. I settled on the neck - juicy, tender, optimal for both shish kebab and pork pastrami at home.

Keep in mind that you will have to take a sample only the next day, not earlier - the pastrami is marinated twice and for a long time before baking.

Preparation time: 12-14 hours / Number of servings: 10-12 slices

Ingredients

  • pork neck 700 g
  • Apple vinegar 30 ml
  • garlic 3-4 cloves
  • vegetable oil 30-50 ml
  • salt, dry mustard, coriander, hot peppers, paprika to taste

How to cook pork pastrami

It is preferable not to use frozen-thawed meat. Be sure to wash a fresh piece of the neck under running water and only then lower it into a spacious container with saline solution. AT cold water(about 1 l) dilute apple cider vinegar and dissolve 1 tbsp. l. salt, we try, if there is not enough acid or the liquid is not too salty, add vinegar-salt. The concentration should be high, but to taste. Immerse the clean pork so that it completely goes under the water. To be safe, cover with a saucer or smaller lid, keeping the neck on the bottom, not allowing the top to dry out or soak in the marinade. We remove the workpiece for 8-12 hours in the refrigerator, it is convenient to start marinating in the evening, and continue cooking the next morning.

Concerning fragrant mixture for shell. We combine dry ground mustard, crushed coriander and hot pepper, for bright color we take paprika, squeeze the garlic cloves through the press, pour in refined oil(corn or sunflower). Mix well, break up lumps. Make up a set of spices to your liking, but it is advisable not to exclude spicy coriander / cilantro, you can take a large pinch of suneli hops, as well as warming and spicy mustard-pepper, allspice garlic. As a rule, salt in this composition is not needed. Since the meat block, after many hours of pickling, is almost completely salted through.

We catch the semi-finished meat from the first marinade, dry it with a woven or paper towel / napkins. Moisture from the surface must be removed, otherwise it will not be possible to evenly apply the seasoning. Notice how the neck has changed color - turned white.

With a brush, spread the spicy-spicy composition over the discolored meat, on all sides, in an even and continuous layer, leaving no dry patches. Now we marinate a second time, about one and a half to two hours and at room temperature. To keep a moist environment, lay the semi-finished pastrami on a board / plate (some flat surface), cover with a dome of a deep container. If you are going to bake in the "sleeve", pack now. My pork pastrami will continue to cook in foil. Therefore, avoiding oxidation, I marinate in a glass / porcelain dish.

Before sending the meat to bake, preheat the oven to the maximum. Turn it on beforehand. We shift the double-marinated neck into a sheet of foil, wrap it, press down the joints, ensuring sealing. In case of leakage of secreted juices, we lower the bundle into a heat-resistant pan. Bake pork delicacy for about 40 minutes. Recipes often specify a time of 20 minutes. In my opinion, a wide piece needs to be kept longer. One way or another, pierce with a skewer - with pink juice, continue cooking, and when the juice becomes transparent and colorless, take it out.

The last 10 minutes can be dried by opening the foil. When baking, quite a lot of fragrant and tasty liquid is released - on its basis, various sauces, gravies are prepared, added to stews. After turning off the heat, cover the meat with foil, leave inside the oven until completely cooled. If you want to have a dense pastrami for thin cutting, transfer it from foil to gauze while still hot, place a load on top - press and cool at room temperature.

Appetizing pork pastrami at home is prepared in less than a day. We divide into slices, collect sandwiches, meat plates and treat with appetizing, absolutely natural natural product expensive eaters. Enjoy your meal!
