Pastrami-Spiced Duck Breast Reuben

Description

I first tasted pastrami-spiced, smoked duck breast about 15 years ago, and ever since I’ve wondered how it would be used in a classic Reuben sandwich. I never got around to actually trying it, but this is close, and I’m going to say, way, way better.

Ingredients

  • 2 skin-on, boneless duck breast halves
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
