Safety of Sous-Vide for long cooking times

brisketsous-vide

Note: all of the questions I saw on this focused on higher temperatures.

Brisket, being a fairly large and tough cut of meat, takes longer to cook than a a steak or many roasts. Would it be safe to cook a brisket sous-vide at medium-rare (131˚ F) or rare levels of doneness ?

Best Answer

According to ChefSteps, tough cuts, like brisket, is where sous vide really shines. If a company that specializes in sous vide is advocating for the use of it on brisket, I would trust that it is perfectly fine.
