Serves 6

  •         Hands-On Time 60 min
  •         Total Time 48+ hours

Ingredients

4 pounds corned beef (I use the pre-brined store brisket with the spice packet)
6 slices of bacon, cut into ½ inch strips
1 head of cabbage, cut into 1-inch strips
2 cups chicken stock
1/2 cup champagne vinegar

Directions

  1. Remove the corned beef from the store bag.  Pour out the liquids and place the beef in a cooking pouch.  Add the spices from the spice pack to the cooking pouch and vacuum seal.
  2. Cook the beef sous vide for 48+ hours at 134 degrees.  
  3. About 45 minutes before you are ready to serve the meal, prepare the cabbage.
  4. In a skillet, over medium heat, cook the bacon pieces until they are crisp and the fat is rendered. Pour off all but 1-2 tablespoons of the bacon fat.
  5. Add the cabbage strips to the skillet, raise the heat to medium-high, and cook for about 5 minutes.
  6. Add the chicken stock and the vinegar to the pan and continue to cook the cabbage in the liquid until tender.
  7. When the cabbage is almost tender, remove the corned beef from the water bath and the cooking pouch.
  8. To serve, slice the corned beef into 1/2″ – 3/4″ slices and serve atop the cabbage.

Note: 140 degrees is more “medium” and still good.  I’ve also done 137 degrees and 72 hours.
