Sous Vide Corned Beef
Description
Sous Vide Corned Beef begins with a 3-pound corned beef trimmed as desired, then coated with the original pickling spice packet. The beef is sealed in a vacuum bag with a weight to help submerge it fully in warm water. Cooking at 180°F for 10 hours allows slow, even heating, breaking down connective tissue for tenderness without overcooking. The spice rub on the surface gently seasons the fat and meat during the long cook.
The slow sous vide method produces a corned beef slice that's tender yet holds together well, avoiding the toughness or dryness sometimes seen with traditional boiling methods. The resting phase post-cooking helps the juices redistribute before slicing.
This preparation makes an ideal main course for meals where corned beef is the highlight. It can be sliced for sandwiches, plated with traditional vegetables, or used in dishes calling for corned beef.
The recipe notes that a 3 lb package yields four generous portions, indicating serving size to guide meal planning.
Ingredients
- 3 lb corned beef save the pickling spice packet that comes with it.
Instructions
- Trim as much or as little surface fat off the Corned Beef. Sprinkle on the pickling spices.
- Rub in the spices gently to the remaining fat layer, so that they will adhere well to the fat.
- Choose a food saver bag that fits the size of the Corned Beef, one that allows space around all sides. Place a weight in the bag. Remove the air using a food saver.
- Place the vacuum sealed bag into a container with warm or hot water. Make sure the bag is submerged in the water.
- Place the Sous Vide cooker into the water. Set the temperature for 180 degrees F. for 10 hours.
- When the cooking time of the Corned Beef has been reached, remove the vacuum sealed bag from the water. Allow the Corned Beef to cool off for 10 minutes. Open the bag and place the meat onto a board ready to slice.
