Ingredient Substitutions and Suggestions

Now, I always make these sous vide pork chops with the ingredients listed above since I think they taste best that way. But there's definitely some wiggle room for you to swap some ingredients to suit your preferences and even possibly save you a trip to the store.

For instance, this recipe calls for boneless pork chops since it's easier to control their temperature in the sous vide. That said, if you only have bone in pork chops, you can prepare them the same way as the boneless pork chops in this recipe. You'll just want to add an extra hour or so to the sous vide cooking time.

As for the seasonings, I like to keep them simple and use dried herbs, salt, and pepper. If you want to elevate that, you can use some kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, and even add some garlic powder.

How To Make Sous Vide Pork Chops

It's almost time to make the pork chops sous vide style!

And trust me when I say it doesn't get much easier than this recipe. Even if you're new to using a sous vide cooker, I guarantee the pork chops will turn out perfect.

So, with that said, let's stop wasting time and get to cooking!

Step 1: Prepare The Pork Chops

First, you'll begin by seasoning the pork chops. To do this, use your hands to rub the sage, rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper into each pork chop. You'll want to make sure that you evenly season both sides of all of the pork chops.

Next, you can place the seasoned pork chops in a vacuum seal bag and remove the air using a vacuum sealer.

Step 2: Sous Vide The Pork Chops

Once you've prepared the pork chops, you can place the bag and sous vide runner in a pot or large container full of water and set it to 140°F for 3 hours. After the 3 hours are up, you'll want to remove the pork chops from the bag and dry them off with paper towels.

Step 3: Sear And Serve

Now, after you dry the pork chops, you'll want to heat a grill, grill pan, or large skillet to high heat and add the olive oil to it. Then once it's hot, you can add the pork chops to the pan and give 'em a quick sear on both sides until golden brown.

Finally, you can serve your sous vide boneless pork chops with more fresh herbs on top and with any side you want.

Enjoy!

How To Store Sous Vide Pork Chops

This recipe for sous vide pork chops makes 2-4 servings, so it's perfect for a big dinner for two or a family dinner.

Then if you end up with any leftovers, you can store the cooked pork chops wrapped tightly in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the fridge for about 3-4 days. 

Alternatively, if you want your pork chops to last longer, then you can freeze them for up to 3 months. Either store them in a shallow airtight container or wrap the pork chops in plastic wrap and keep 'em in a freezer-safe bag.

How To Reheat Sous Vide Pork Chops

Once you're ready to enjoy these sous vide pork chops again, you can either eat them cold or reheat them. For what it's worth, I think they're best reheated.

With that said, to reheat your leftover pork chops, just put them in an oven safe dish and warm them in the oven at 350°F for around 10 minutes - or until they're fully warmed through. You can check the internal temperature of the thickest part of the pork chop, and if it reaches 145°F, they're good to eat.

FAQs About This Sous Vide Pork Chops Recipe

What temperature should I sous vide pork chops?

When it comes to making juicy pork chops, it's best to sous vide them at 140°F for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.

Pork chops can be cooked to an internal temperature of 145°F for medium rare and up to 160°F for well done pork chops.

Is it worth it to sous vide pork chops?

I know I'm a bit biased, but I think it's definitely worth it to sous vide pork chops, especially if you make them with the sous vide method in this recipe. The beauty of using a sous vide is that it cooks the meat low and slow, which is perfect for getting super tender and juicy pork chops. Then the sear that this recipe adds to the pork chops really takes them to another level.
