Sous Vide Corned Beef
Sure, there are dozens of ways to cook a corned beef, but cooking it sous vide low and slow ensures it'll come out juicy and tender, even if you use a flat cut. Twenty-four hours will give you a firmer, sliceable texture, if that's what you prefer, but I've found 48 hours to provide the ultimate in tenderness and juiciness. The fat cap will also render down nicely.

Cook's Notes:
This method works the same for a 4- to 5-pound corned beef.
If you don't own a vacuum sealer, you may use a zip-top plastic freezer bag. To seal your bag, slowly lower it into the water, letting the water pressure force the air out of the bag, then seal it.
