The pastrami for this recipe comes from Hunter Angler Gardener Cook – Hank Shaw’s Wild Food Recipes (honest-food.net) (If you don’t have pastrami and don’t have time to make it, you could take a backstrap or inner tenderloin (sweet meat) from a deer and slice it thin followed by a quick searing.)
For the Russian dressing, you can buy it premade or find an online recipe and use ingredients you most likely have already in your refrigerator.
