Sous Vide Ghost Pepper Corned Beef

Made some homemade corned beef and added dried ghost pepper to the spice rub and brine. It was brined for 6 days and cooked sous vide using an immersion circulator for 48 hours. It made an amazing hot reuben sandwich!

Looks great, now toss that ish in the smoker for a few hours and make me a pastrami sammich! 
 
Best looking "boiled" meat i've seen yet.

Thanks man! Unfortunately my building doesn't allow smokers on the balcony or this would be pastrami instead of corned beef!

I can't stop thinking about this.
 
I just took a corned beef down for the weekend.
It's definitely worth the time it takes to make. My brisket was pretty small so 6 days of brine was plenty to get good even penetration into the center. A larger one may take an extra day or two. Next time I'm going to use short ribs and ease back just a little bit on the ghost pepper as to not completely overpower the rib flavor.
