Montreal-style smoked meat, Montreal smoked meat, or (mainly in Quebec) simply smoked meat (French: viande fumée, lit.'smoked meat', or sometimes bœuf mariné, 'marinated beef') is a type of kosher-style delicatessen meat product made by salting and curing beef brisket with spices. The brisket is allowed to absorb the flavours over a week. It is then hot smoked to cook through, and finally is steamed to completion. This is a variation on corned beef and is similar to pastrami.
