Ingredients

Scale

1 (3–4 lb) flat cut or point cut corned beef brisket

Pickling spice packet (or 2 tbsp homemade blend)

Water (for soaking if store-bought)

Vacuum seal or freezer-safe Ziploc bag

Instructions

1. If using store-bought corned beef, soak in cold water for 12–24 hours in the fridge to reduce salt.

2. Preheat sous vide water bath to 165°F, 175°F, or 185°F depending on desired texture.

3. Remove corned beef from packaging. Discard any paper or labels.

4. Place brisket in vacuum seal or Ziploc bag with pickling spices.

5. Seal and fully submerge in the water bath.

6. Cook for 7 to 10 hours based on selected temp.

7. Remove, pat dry, and chill before slicing for clean cuts.

8. Slice and serve warm or cold as desired.

Notes

165°F for 10 hrs = firm, great for slicing

175°F for 8 hrs = softer, still sliceable

185°F for 7 hrs = fall-apart traditional style

Reheat slices in 135°F bath for 30 min if serving warm
