Pastrami is corned beef brisket that has been rubbed with spices and smoked. Pastrami can be eaten cold, but it is often enjoyed hot. Since pastrami is already cooked, it just needs to be heated. Pastrami can be sliced thin for a sandwich or thicker and be served with potatoes and vegetables.
Fit the steam basket into a pot and pour in water to 1 inch below the basket.
Put the desired amount of sliced pastrami into the steam basket and reduce the heat to medium. The water should be heated to a low boil or a high simmer.
Add the thinly-sliced onion and saute for about 5 minutes, until the onion has become translucent.
Add the desired amount of sliced pastrami to the skillet and toss with the onions. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Layer slices of your favorite cheese on top of the pastrami and onions. Turn off the heat, cover and let the cheese melt.
Prepare a bulky roll with your choice of condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, horseradish or butter. Pile on the pastrami and enjoy.
Healthier versions include pastrami made from turkey or chicken. Create an open-face sandwich with crusty bread and top it with gravy. Make your own pastrami by seasoning and smoking corned beef brisket. Create a pastrami stir fry by adding bite-size pieces of vegetables to the skillet and serve with rice.
STANDARD OVEN HEATING Remove Pastrami from all packaging and wrap loosely in tin foil. Place it on a pan and put it in a preheated 350-degree oven for approximately 5 minutes. Place a cup of water inside the oven to prevent drying. Because each oven has hot spots, check it frequently.

* Frozen soups can be kept frozen for up to 3 months prior to reheating. Please do NOT refreeze soup that has already been thawed.
Once the casing has been cut open, please refrigerate the salami. It can be refrigerated for up to a month as well but will continue to slowly dry out and harden over time.
