Brisket to Pastrami - Holding time after corned beef is cooked sous vide
I'm planning the Amazing Ribs sous vide pastrami recipe. My question after the brine (5 to 6 days), then sous vide for 36 hours. What is the max time the sous vide corned beef can be held in frig until I smoke? Please post reference if you have one.
The meat will be cured, then fully cooked, so I think you could hold up to 7 days, but EdF 's 4 days is probably safer. You don't want to lose the meat after all that work.
I would have no problem holding it for a week (or more ) if need be. It has been cured for Heaven's sake! On the other hand, if I knew that a delay was necessary, I would either leave it in the cure longer or freeze it until I could finish it.
