Got a slab of meat in a food box. No idea what it is. How do I cook a mystery meat?

That looks like it's cured? Open up the vacuum pack, smell it and and see if you can tell if it's pickled. If it is, cook it like a cut of corned beef.

I got the same thing and have no idea what kind of meat it is either!
It looks fresh and it’s a very big piece of meat.... I don’t think it’s pickled though. I put it in the freezer and plan to cook it for second days with a spice rub of oil, salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder and paprika.
I have no idea why it isn’t labeled! Yes, it’s a mystery...

You could always call and ask? Company label is visible...

Which box. From where?
A school told me they will be giving a large piece pastrami. Maybe this is it.

It was in the food box distributed by Bais Rochel.
There is actually a package of deli meat also- sliced pastrami.

Did anyone use this meat yet? Curious how it came out...

I think it kalichel- good for stews or cholent.
I actually tried cooking one of the roasts- I seared it and baked it at 350 with fried onions, spices and wine. It was a 2 lb roast and I cooked it on 350 for 1 1/2 hrs and it was overdone. If using it as a roast cook it for less time. It's a very lean meat (no fat, just muscle in it). It was okay to eat when very thinly sliced.
Definitely not comparable to a chuck, delmonico, top of the rib or brisket (all meats I have made before)

I seared it and then put it in the oven on 250 overnight covered in foil with fried onions and spices. It came out soft and falling apart. Then I made it onto pulled meat. My kids enjoyed it in tacos. Was pleased with the results.

Thanks for updating!
So it wasn’t pickled?

It looks like it came from a cow. . .
