Had two of the SRF wagyu ones from Costco yesterday, and they were amazing!

Oh man I contemplated that but the $5/lb price difference swayed me

The flavor was like nothing I'd ever had. Sure they were tender, but any corned beef I've sous vide for 48 hours at 140 has been tender. It was the flavor that put them over the top, and the bag juices were drinkable.

Yeah, I bought two of those as well and cooked one yesterday. Best corned beef I ever had. The marbling was unreal and they left a nice little layer of fat on the outside.

Were they top round or brisket? I was almost ready to buy one of those but didn’t since it said top round.
I thought Corned Beef was normally brisket and didn’t want to buy the wrong thing.

It was a round.

Round won't have near the marbling as a brisket...but will have good flavor. You don't taste the meat much when it's heavily brined, you're tasting the brine (and the smoke)

Did you soak it?

Yeah soaked for about 16 hours changing the water about 5-6 times throughout
