Description
Corned beef cooked sous vide is tender and flavorful. The salt-cured corned beef brisket is rubbed with pickling spice and slow-cooked in a water bath at 175°F. This traditional Irish dish will undoubtedly be the highlight of your St. Patrick’s Day celebration! Make a warm, cheesy Reuben sandwich with it or serve it with cabbage.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 lbs corned beef brisket
- 1 tablespoon pickling spice
- 1/3 cup beef stock
- 1/2 medium onion (sliced)
Instructions
- Preheat the Sous Vide Machine: Fill the sous vide container or a large pot halfway with water and set the Sous Vide Precision Cooker to 175°F (80°C).
- Season the corned beef by removing it from the package, rinsing it with water, and patting it dry with paper towels.
- All sides should be rubbed with pickling spice.
- Vacuum Seal the Corned Beef: In a zip-top bag, combine the seasoned corned beef and chopped onions, then add the beef stock. Use the “water displacement” technique to seal the bag, sealing all but one corner. Slowly lower it into the water bath, making sure that everything below the zip-line is submerged. Then, seal the remainder of the bag. (If you have a vacuum sealer, feel free to use it.)
- Sous Vide Cook the Meat: Sous vide the corned beef for 10 hours in a warm water bath. Arrange the bag in such a way that the meat is completely submerged in water. If you’re going to use a zip-top bag, make sure the seam is above the water.
- Cover the pot with several layers of aluminum foil to reduce water evaporation.
- Remove the corned beef from the bag when the timer goes off. Using paper towels, pat it dry. Serve with steamed cabbage and potatoes. (You can eat it right away or store it in the fridge for later.)
Notes
Check that there is enough water to cover the meat. Check on a regular basis and add more water as needed.
Choose your preferred level of doneness and adjust the sous vide cooking time accordingly.
