Highly seasoned smoked beef prepared from a shoulder cut (8)

I believe the answer is:

pastrami

(Other definitions for pastrami that I've seen before include "Thinly sliced beef" , "Smoked, highly-seasoned cut of beef" , "Seasoned dish" , "Spicy smoked beef" , "Seasoned smoked beef, served in thin slices" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
