Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Prepare the Sous Vide Bath (5 minutes): Fill a large pot or container with water. Attach a sous vide immersion circulator to the pot and set the temperature to 140°F (60°C). Allow the water to reach the set temperature.

02

Step
10 mins

Prepare the Corned Beef (10 minutes): Rinse the corned beef thoroughly under cold water to remove excess brine. Pat it completely dry with paper towels. Generously apply the spice packet to the fatty side of the brisket, pressing gently to ensure it adheres. Add freshly ground black pepper, if desired.

03

Step
5 mins

Vacuum Seal the Beef (5 minutes): Place the seasoned corned beef into a vacuum seal bag. Ensure the bag is large enough to accommodate the brisket comfortably. Use a vacuum sealer to remove all air from the bag and create a tight seal.

04

Step
48 hrs

Sous Vide Cooking (48 hours): Carefully submerge the sealed bag into the preheated water bath. Ensure the brisket is fully immersed. If the bag floats, weigh it down with a sous vide weight or a heavy kitchen object. Set a timer for 48 hours. Maintain the water temperature throughout the cooking process.

05

Step
10 mins

Finishing and Serving (10 minutes): After 48 hours, carefully remove the bag from the water bath. Transfer the corned beef to a cutting board. Let it rest for 10 minutes. Slice the corned beef thinly against the grain. Serve immediately and enjoy.

For optimal tenderness, a 48-hour cook time is highly recommended. However, a 24-hour cook will still yield a delicious and tender result if you are short on time.
Do not skip the rinsing step! Removing excess brine is essential for preventing an overly salty final product.
Serve with traditional accompaniments like cabbage, potatoes, and carrots, or get creative and use the corned beef in sandwiches, hash, or even tacos!
