- Slice the pastrami thinly. This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
- Use a good bread. A sturdy bread, such as rye or sourdough, will hold up to the pastrami and other ingredients.
- Add your favorite toppings. Some popular toppings for pastrami sandwiches include Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, pickles, and mustard. Get creative and try different combinations to find your favorite.
- Cook the sandwich to your liking. You can grill the sandwich, pan-fry it, or bake it in the oven. Just be sure to cook it until the pastrami is heated through.
