I had just read about a guy "corning" deer meat, so I decided to try it.
It came out great and when I gave the neighbor some, he couldn't believe it was the same meat.
OP didn't do that though. He simply dry-aged it in his fridge for a few days with a coriander rub. I'm sure it was good, but it's not pastrami. It's pastrami-ish.

The recipe link has instacure #1 listed (sodium nitrite). It was cured per the recipe.

Ive done traditional brisket pastrami's several times, but this was the first dry cured pastrami I've done. And the first time to do venison. I wasn't really sure what to expect. But the recipe is legit. I didn't get to the milligram on the salts like Hank Shaw says but followed it pretty close.

Looks really good.
Subtle I killed a deer brag.

How did it compare to the brisket pastrami. Definitely a different fat content. The best deli pastrami usually has a good bit of fat. Curious as to if it will displace your brisket pastrami.

It wasn't that much different than the brisket flat texture wise. I was really surprised how moist and tender the venison was. It was a good bit different that the fatty brisket point though, obviously.

No. I'll still do a brisket or two a year. I will definitely do the backstrap pastrami again though, especially with older/bigger deer. Also plan to try it with goose pretty soon.
