Tender and Juicy
Jenna says, “Once you try pork chops sous vide style, you’ll fall in love with how tender and ridiculously-juicy they are. Leftovers make delicious pork sandwiches for days to come. This is one of the fastest sous vide pork recipes you’ll find. So let’s get sous viding! “
What is Sous Vide?
Often the sous vide cooking method has been reserved for the fancy restaurants. However, more and more people are beginning to use this cooking method at home. So, What is it? According to Bon Appe’tite, it is cooking is the process of sealing food in an airtight container—usually a vacuum sealed bag—and then cooking that food in temperature-controlled water.
It Truly is Delicious!
I am a dean at a local two-year community college and I started a culinary program a few years ago, When I hired the chef instructors, one of the pieces of equipment that they said they must have is a Sous Vide machine. I had no idea what that even was. Since my instructors had to test the machine and show the students how it worked, I have been very lucky to be the recipient of many types of foods made with the Sous Vide.
Often, when the students have a big event they need to cater, they will make the food ahead of time using the Sous Vide and sear off the meat just before serving. The end result is flavorful, tender, and juicy.

Remove pork chops from the bag when they’re done cooking in the sous vide bath. Discard the herbs and pat dry.
The meat will be pale. However, now it the time to give it that pan sear to add more depth to the flavors.
Pan Sear for Full Flavor
I often use a cast iron skillet to cook my meats in. This is also perfect for finishing off these pork chops. To finish sous vide pork chops in a cast iron pan, add olive oil to a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side 30-60 seconds, until there is a golden brown crust on each side.
Remove from heat.
If you will not be serving the meat right away, cover with tin foil to preserve the heat.
