Ready to make this yummy corned beef on rye? Start by preparing the sous vide and set the water bath temp for 155 degrees. Get the corned beef ready by rubbing pepper and the season pack on all sides of the meat. Corned beef comes with little season packs. In the event that it does not come with that season pack, here is a recipe from another blogger for what seasonings to use. Click here.
After the seasonings have been added to the meat, using either a vacuum sealer or ziploc bags, seal the meat up air tight. Place into the sous vide bath for 24 hours. Once the meat is done, fire up your broiler on high. Broil the meat for 6 minutes or until a golden crust has formed. Make sure you watch the meat so it does not burn!
Using either a deli slicer or a super sharp carving knife, slice the corned beef as thin as you can and set aside. I totally encourage everyone to get a deli slicer. They are inexpensive and are so convenient, I love mine!
Let’s get the coleslaw ready!
Using a sharp knife, cut both cabbages in half, then into forths. Remove the hard stems and discard. Slice the cabbages as thin as possible, from there, chop up 3 or 4 times, depending on how small you want your cabbage pieces. Using a potato pealer, peal the outer layer of the carrot. Use either a mandoline or a cheese grater to shred the carrot. Toss the cabbage and carrot into a bowl and toss well.
Combine all coleslaw dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and mix well. Drizzle the dressing over the slaw and toss until all the slaw is covered evenly with dressing and set aside.
Prepare the thousand island dressing.
This dressing is so delicious and simple to make. Mince the onions super small. Combine all ingredients into a bowl or canning jar and mix together. I use sweet relish, but you can chop up your own sweet pickles if you want bigger chunks.
Let’s build that sandwich!
Pre heat a non stick skillet over medium high heat. Spread mayo on one side of each slice of the marble rye bread, yes that’s right, MAYO. I have learned that using mayo instead of butter to fry a sandwich is a total game changer. Try it! You will not be disappointed. Anyways, after spreading the mayo, spread the thousand island dressing on the other side of each slice. First, place the swiss cheese on the bottom so it will melt better. Second, layer up that delicious sous vide corned beef brisket! Finally, top with coleslaw. Fry on each side for 1 to 3 minutes or until the cheese is melted. You are left with this delicious crunch in the marble rye that complete the sandwich. Cut in half and serve!
