Another Hybrid Cook
« Reply #-1 on: March 21, 2015, 06:30:31 PM »
A recent post from cookiecdmk got me thinking. Actually most of these posts get me thinking.  ;)

Anyway, cookie talked about smoking a corned beef and then finishing it sous vide. That sounded pretty interesting. I found a corned beef on sale and let it swim in a bucket of water in the fridge over night - changing the water frequently to pull the salt out. I did not use the little spice packet that came with it. Instead, when I took it out of the fridge, I drained and patted it dry, then rubbed with Savor BBQ rub. I wanted to use M3 but, well that is a sad story.

While I was in ND with my dad, my wife decided to clean out my spice cabinet - ok cabinet and counter and other places...  ::) I do not know what her criteria for keeping tossing was, but my special stash of M3 vanished...  :'( Oh the humanity!

Anyway, BBQ Savor is a very nice rub and smells terrific.

So, right now the point is rubbed and in the smoker with pecan and apple wood. They are my favorites.

The plan is for 2 - 3 hours of smoke and then in the sous vide at 135* for 48 hours. After that into the fridge to cool and then sliced and reheated for sandwiches for dinner Tuesday night (both Emma and her BF are not working that night.)

Will update as things move along.

Cheers,

D

If the Mrs. Cleaned out my spice cabinet we MAY have a few words of a colorful nature.

Thanks, Gene. Just went out for another wiff... ohhhhh boy that is smelling good. Glad the doggie is at grandparents house for dinner or he would be going nuts!

A neighbor just came by, walking his (little) doggie - asked when dinner would be ready...  :D

This is interesting but not likely something I will make. The wife does not like corned beef and not too fond of smoked food. As example, she likes ribs from the gasser better than those I smoke. The PBC is sort of a compromise for her. Go figure.. looking forward to the results.

I think over time I will just make things I like and make her something separate - Like a lovely gas grilled chicken breast.

Actually, it is "funny" my wife does not like BBQ or smoked or almost anything off the grill. She does not like "hot" Taco Bell is spicy for her... But, I like this and make it anyway. Some times I share it with my daughters and some times I enjoy it alone...

Well you and I share the same situations, although she will eat hot food. I used to brew ales. Did some great ones. She would never sample one. Oh well.

You must write suspense novels. This thread is like "It smells great!" "As we get closer to the end of the cook, the smell is intoxicating!"       "The aroma emanating from the cooker is drawing attention of others and I fear I will be discovered!".. waiting for the photos...

Forgot to post this last night = out of the smoker after 2.5 hours. Then into a bag and into the spa at 135* (no picture...)

I am enjoying the sous vide method more than I thought I would. But, one downside - no aromas to entice the neighbors to drop by...  ;) ;D
