Choosing boneless or bone-in pork for sous vide cooking

The star of this bone-in pork chop sous vide recipe is obviously the meat. You can make this recipe for sous vide pork chops with bone-in or boneless pork. Just remember that sous viding meat with bones will add even more flavor to the dish. But sous viding boneless is delicious, too.

You can sous vide boneless or sous vide center-cut pork loin chops with this recipe, as long as the thickness of the meat stays around 1.5-2 inches thick. The center cut/pork loin chop has a big t-bone.

Details on my tasty green sauce for sous vide pork chops

You really have to try the sauce! The first time I made this creamy jalapeno sauce for pork chops, my husband and I were slurping up the leftovers for days on quesadillas, salads, and other dishes like sous vide pulled pork tacos and sous vide tri-tip.

In fact, if I could marry a sauce, at the moment, I’d choose this one. It is creamy and cool from the sour cream and has a ton of flavor from all the cilantro, jalapeno, lime, garlic salt, onion powder, and paprika.

Let’s make this sous vide bone-in pork chops recipe

Step 1. Preheat sous vide machine to 140ºF. While the sous vide bath preheats, season bone-in pork chops with garlic, salt, and pepper.

Step 2. Vacuum-seal pork chops in a flat layer with cilantro on top.

How long to cook sous vide pork chops bone-in

Drop the bag in the sous vide bath at 140ºF for 2 ½ hours. When done, remove pork chops from the hot water and shock the bag in an ice bath for 2 minutes.

Remove pork chops from the bag, discard herbs, and pat dry.

Step 3. While the pork chops cook, make the jalapeno ranch sauce by combining all the ingredients in a blender. Blend until mixture is smooth, 30-45 seconds. Store in the fridge until time to serve.

Step 4. Heat a cast-iron skillet to medium-high and add olive oil. Sear bone-in pork chops on each side until a brown crust forms, about 30-60 seconds.

To sear the edges, use tongs to hold the pork chops. Once seared, let pork chops rest on a cutting board for 5-10 minutes before cutting and serving with sauce.

Why my pork with jalapeno ranch dressing is a winner

Tender, juicy pork goes perfectly with the hint of spice from the jalapenos in this sauce recipe. The jalapeno flavor is all smoothed out and brought together by the ranch base. The dressing really makes this particular pork dish and pairs well with spicy and citrusy flavors.

Serve *this* with sous vide bone in pork chops

Try pairing sweet sous vide corn with this dish. The sweetness of corn with the spicy jalapenos cream sauce will have you dunking the corn in the dressing.

Top off your saucy chops with a high pile of red wine caramelized onions, roasted cherry tomatoes, or red peppers that are grilled then sliced thin. Just like the corn, these pork toppings provide a sweet profile to contrast with the spicy sauce and they look beautiful on the plate.
