This peerless pastrami sandwich was adapted from a menu favorite at Primanti Bros. Restaurant in Pittsburgh. Our Test Kitchen took the basic ingredientsâgrilled cold cuts, cheese, fried potatoes and tomatoesâand created a tasty replica, including our version of their secret coleslaw topping.Country Woman Test Kitchen, Greendale, Wisconsin Ingredients:
1/2 cup sugar, divided |
1/2 cup cider vinegar, divided |

1/4 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound sliced deli pastrami |

Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup of the sugar and vinegar; add cabbage and toss to coat. Cover and let stand for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, bake fries according to package directions.
