Pork is the unsung hero in the sous vide world. When it comes to sous vide boneless pork chops, the thicker the better. I urge everyone to go buy a 2 inch thick pork chop, cook it sous vide, and then realize the hidden wonder of the world: non-overcooked pork.
- Prep: 5 mins
- Cook: 2 hrs
Ingredients
Thick cut boneless pork chops
Salt and pepper
(optional) Marinade of Choice
MEDIUM RARE
130°F [1.5 - 3 hours]
MEDIUM
140°F [1.5 - 3 hours]
MEDIUM WELL
150°F [1.5 - 3 hours]
WELL DONE
160°F [1.5 - 3 hours]
Note: Timing depends on thickness. If your chop is extra thick, lean towards 3 hours. However, it's important to remember that your pork will NOT be overcooked by cooking an extra 1-2 hours, since it's being held at a consistent temperature.

2Pre-heat water bath to your ideal temperature (see chart on left). We prefer 140°F.

Try a dry rub. Brown sugar, garlic powder, salt, pepper, paprika, onion powder, chopped rosemary. Then give them a sprinkle of worsteshire and olive oil.
