Sous Vide Brisket Recipe
Brisket is essentially beef chest.This cut of meat is lean, with a low to mid amount of tendons and connective tissue.So this cut is perfect to prepare sous vide resulting in tender and juicy brisket. This meat requires a long cooking time, so it’s recommended to prepare it one or two days in advance.
