Italian cut of smoked beef (8)

I believe the answer is:

pastrami

(Other definitions for pastrami that I've seen before include "Meat dish" , "A tramp is (anag) - meat" , "Spiced sliced beef" , "Spiced smoked beef" , "Spicy smoked beef" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times and the Irish Times (Simplex).
