For me, pork butt or pork shoulder blade roast, brisket marinade traeger it’s sometimes called, makes the best pulled pork. Thin-cut chops are perfect for jerk style cooking.
Pork Roast or Belly is often used, and these cuts are marinated overnight in a sweet and savory sauce giving it a distinct red color and a ton of flavor. These are sticky little cubes of heaven. I first tried Bacon Burnt Ends at Heim Bbq in Fort Worth Texas. So I shot a quick video for Smoked Rib Tips. Some of the best jerk chicken, jerk pork, and even fish can be found at little shacks right on the beach.

And I travel the country cooking in over 20 competition barbecue and World Steak Cookoff contests each year as Killer Hogs barbecue team. When making pastrami for the first time, I pretty much hit the nail on the head on flavor—the meat was smoky and salty, with a highly seasoned peppercorn, coriander, and garlic crust that screams “pastrami. Still, that cured and smoked brisket flat didn’t sit right with me, mainly because of one glaring omission, it was never steamed! Montreal smoked meat is, more or less, Montreal’s answer to pastrami. The process can be almost identical, but there are couple important differences.
First is the cut of meat—smoked meat is often made with the whole brisket, letting customers choose between the fatty deckle or the more lean flat, while pastrami is usually just the brisket flat or beef plate. The cure I put together was similar to the pastrami cure, although I held back the amount of sugar. I also decided to ditch the Morton Tender Quick and do a mixture of pink curing salt and kosher salt instead. Getting many questions about the amount of nitrites in the Morton’s and not knowing the answer, I thought it was better the second time around to make my own salt mixture to better understand exactly what I was putting into my cure. The whole brisket was coated in the dry-cure and placed in a doubled up two and half gallon Ziploc bag.
