Hot Pastrami Sandwich for Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day #sandwich #beef #recipe

Having a national food day that commands that you make a sandwich is actually pretty great. I don’t have to rack my brain for what I can make, or hound…uh, I mean, politely ask…my friends and family for ideas. When whoever “they” are decided that January 14th would be National Hot Pastrami Sandwich Day, they made this challenge a little bit easier for me.

You aren’t going to believe this, but until I made this sandwich, I had not only not tried rye bread, but I hadn’t had pastrami either. I even seriously asked my friend where one would buy pastrami from. Turns out, I could get it fresh from my local grocery store Deli. Who knew?

The pastrami was more expensive than I’m used to paying for my tried and true oven-roasted turkey, but it was completely worth it. The color alone makes the sandwich look so pretty, no? Paired with a combo sauce of horseradish and balsamic vinegar and I hug myself in elation for a job well done.

Looks so fabulous! We’re huge on smoked meat sandwiches in my neck-of-the-woods (near Montreal) and totally spoiled.

This looks delicious! While I am not a fan of rye (I am pumpernickel all the way), I would devour this. I love the added arugula. And that bread looks incredible!
