Barb from Fl. wanted a recipe for Pastrami. I know this is supposed to be all TNT recipes and I have not made this, but I intend to. I saw where "Big Daddy" on the Food Channel had a recipe that looked delicious and not all that hard to make. It just aired this past Sunday, so it will be easy to find on their website. It was rated 5*s, which is the highest you can get. I decided to find it for you.

Big Daddy's Homemade Pastrami

1/4 cup black peppercorns
1/4 cup coriander seeds
Brine:
1 gallon cold water
1 cup kosher salt
1 tablespoon liquid smoke
5 cloves garlic, smashed
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
3 tablespoons pickling spice
2 bay leaves
1 (5-pound) beef brisket, trimmed
.
In a coffee grinder, add the peppercorns and coriander and grind until coarsely chopped. Set aside.

In a large stock pot add all the brine ingredients and bring to a boil over high heat. Remove from the heat and let cool. Add the brisket to the brine and refrigerate overnight. Remove the brisket from the brine and pat dry. Cover liberally with the spice mixture.

Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F.

On a sheet pan with a rack, arrange the brisket on the rack and roast until fork tender, about 4 hours. Remove to a cutting board and slice. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Cook's Note: To make a Big Daddy Pastrami Sandwich, layer pastrami, sautéed onions and Big Daddy's Thousand Island dressing on rye bread.
Servings: 6

I hope this is what you are looking for.
