Surely there are debates on best pastrami in NY, but this is the one I tried when I visited. Mouth watering goodness!

I can't be the only one who thinks this is visually disgusting right? It looks like completely uncooked meat. Why not just go down to the farm and slaughter one yourself and just eat it right there off of the ground?
It's cured, slow-smoked (to an internal temp of 203 °F, much higher than what would be considered "well done" for steak), and then steamed. It's literally the most cooked a piece of meat can possibly be without becoming inedible.
On top of that, it's a cheap, tough cut of meat that only becomes delicious because of the complicated and laborious prep. When you buy a sandwich like that (which is pretty expensive), the extensive cooking process is most of what you're paying for.
