Kosher-style deli beef is a true Montreal delicacy that has its origins in the Jewish immigrants who first came to Canada from Eastern Europe in the early 1900s. Produced by salting and curing the meat in a variety of spices - including garlic, mustard seeds, coriander and pepper corns - it is then smoked and steamed for several hours before being served up with rye bread. The result? A flavoursome sweet yet salty treat that is easy to be devoured.
