For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of smoked paprika to the curing mixture. If you prefer a less salty pastrami, you can reduce the amount of sugar-based curing mixture slightly. Be sure to rinse the roast thoroughly after curing to remove excess salt. Allow the pastrami to cool slightly before slicing for easier handling.
