Great sandwich! I made this on rye bread that I toasted before assembling the sandwich. The pastrami was very tender from simmering in the broth, so the meat just melted in the mouth. I drained the pastrami before putting on the bread so that the sandwich would not be soggy.

I made this today using deli pastrami. It was great! Simmering the meat is a winner. Of course, the other combination of flavors from the rye bread to the coarse mustard and pickles capped it off. I will make this many times more!

I had a bunch of deli meat and wanted to make something besides regular sandwiches. These were great. My 15 year old ate 5!
