In order to create an authentic New York deli experience all you have to do is follow the following steps.

The most important thing you must do is to start out with New York State National brand “REAL NEW YORK DELI” pastrami or corned beef.

Either you are preparing one or both items they both need to go through the same process.

First you must start with State National Brand plate pastrami and a cooked corned beef brisket. Since both of these items are fully cooked they only need to be heated. In order to continue with the authentic process it is important to create some type of steam table to heat the products. Steam can be created simply with a pot and perforated pan with a little water layering the bottom of the pot. Let each item steam up until they are fork tender. Two hours is not an unreasonable amount of time for everything to heat. Once each item is fork tender just slice, pile high, and ENJOY!
