So not a lot of solid intel on slow cooking corned beef, but ball park estimates were 8-10 hours at 200-215*
Checked it at 4 hours, looked good, 5 hours, house smelled awesome.
Go to take the pup for a walk.
Check temp for the first time at 7 hours (rookie move), aiming for 140* internal.
It’s 190* with a bullet. Fuck.
I had figured the hour between 7-8 would be veggie prep and cook.
Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth.
Yank the meat, and let it rest on the counter. Scramble to put the rest in place.
Next thing, ive got every pot on the stove doing something.
Veggies came together pretty quickly, thank goodness.
After a nice rest, sliced the beef
Not dry, but not as moist as it probably was at 140*
Still came together for a very tasty plate
So I will do this again next year, but I’m the meantime will get an oven thermometer, just to see if we are properly calibrated.
On the next episode of cooking with J-man: corned beef hash.
(That was the endgame all along...)
