Give this recipe the sexy name it deserves Basterma! Dried cured beef with just the right spices salted and cut paper thin! I make mine with just a lil olive oil and then a lil butter and add the eggs. Breakfast of Kings and Queens ;). But seriously I will edit this part out but I just want to say that pastrami is nothing like basterma and people should definitely try to hunt down the real thing. I know zaar doesn't recognize the word but maybe put it in the title and put Pastrami in ( ) with a description of the meat. Eventually maybe zaar will add the ingredient. :)
