Sous Vide Pork Chops

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Let me show you how easy perfect pork chops can be.

Time to make Sous Vide Pork Chops!

Serves 4-6

Ingredients:

  • 4 pork chops
  • Sagemary finishing salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons lard

Equipment:

  • All of my recommended kitchen tools are listed here.
Method:

A few days ago, I sous vided some pork chops (seasoned with Sagemary finishing salt and pepper, cooked at 134-140 F for 2 hours) so I’d have them ready for dinner tonight. Tonight, I took them out of the fridge…

…and dunked them into my SousVide Supreme that I’d filled and pre-heated to 134-140F. (Update: you can also use a sous vide  immersion circulator like this one.)

I let them steep in the bath for 30 minutes while I prepped my other sides (garlic cauliflower “mashed potatoes,” roasted carrots, green beans with balsamic vinegar and slivered almonds, and herb gravy).  When time was up, I took the chops out of the bath and dried ‘em with a paper towel. Ugly and unappetizing, right?

But then I seared them off in my cast iron skillet with some melted lard. I left the chops undisturbed for a minute on each side…

…and then, using tongs, I seared the fatty edges of each chop.  Watch for grease fires!

(Nowadays, I just char the chops with my kitchen torch.)

Then, I plated everything up.  Looks pretty good for a weeknight dinner, no?
