The short rib pastrami sandwich from Silver and Sons features richly marbled beef short ribs that are brined for up to nine days, smoked low and slow, and finished with a flavorful mustard barbecue sauce. The meat is tender and fatty with a complex spice-crusted bark, served generously on warm challah bread. The sandwich is balanced with a tangy, slightly sweet sauce that cuts through the richness of the pastrami.

From Prep to Plate
Seth heads to Silver and Sons BBQ, a Jewish-inspired barbecue food truck available in D.C. and Maryland, to watch Chef and Owner Jarrad Silver prepare his signature short rib pastrami sandwich, made with brined beef short ribs for extra marbling and flavor.
The pastrami was, dare I say it, great. Silver and Sons uses beef short ribs, and brines them for a full week with coriander and a blend of five peppercorns. The meat is tender, moist, and overflowing with flavor.
