St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner and we’re excited to bring a delicious and festive way to celebrate the holiday at home. While we may only be watching the big parade from our TVs this year, it doesn’t mean you have to compromise on your St.Patrick’s Day festivities at home! Turn your kitchen into an Irish pub with this easy and savoury recipe for corned beef, using a sous-vide.
Here is what you need:
- 3 lbs corned beef brisket, pre-brined, with pickling spice packet (a blend of mustard seeds, allspice, coriander seeds, cloves, ginger, red pepper flakes, bay leaf and cinnamon)
- 1 cup beef stock
Preparation:
Sous-Vide:
- Set sous vide machine to 82C/180F.
- Rub pickling spice packet on the fat side of the corned beef. Put the corned beef and beef broth in a freezer bag, and remove the air using a vacuum sealer or the displacement method. Drop the bag in the bath for 10 hours.
To Finish:
- To finish the corned beef, heat up the skillet on medium high and sear all sides. Alternatively, place the corned beef under the broiler for 1 to 2 minutes. Make sure to watch closely to ensure the meat does not get burned.
- Serve with cabbage and potatoes, and enjoy the most succulent corned beef, ever!
Of course, St. Patrick’s Day wouldn’t be the same without some beer (preferably green), serve alongside your wonderfully filling and savoury Irish corned beef. Pro tip: The leftovers make for great sandwiches the next day!
