Pork Loin, Sous Vide
https://kitchendivas.com/sous-vide-pork-loin-roast/
TARGET
- 137°F / 3 Hours
INGREDIENTS
- 3 lbs pork loin boneless
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS
-
In a small bowl, mix garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. This will be your dry rub.
-
Pat the piece of meat dry with paper towels & rub the spice mixture all over the boneless pork loin, making sure it's evenly coated. For great flavor, you can put the seasoned pork loin in the fridge for 1-2 hours or overnight to allow the spices to penetrate.
-
Place the seasoned pork in a resealable bag or vacuum-seal bag. If you don't have a vacuum sealer, use the water displacement method: Partially seal the bag, leaving one corner unsealed, and then slowly lower the bag into a container of water, allowing the water to push out the air. Once most of the air is removed, seal your bag completely.
-
Preheat the sous vide machine using an immersion circulator to 140°F and then submerge the sealed bag in the preheated sous vide water bath. Cook the pork for a cooking time of 2-5 hours. Sous vide cooking times can be adjusted based on your preferred doneness. I sometimes place a plate or bowl on top of the bag to keep it from floating during the cooking process.
- Timing: Medium-Rare 135°F (57°C) 2 to 5 hours, Medium 140°F (60°C) 2 to 5 hours (recommended), Medium-Well 145°F (63°C) 2 to 5 hours, Well Done 150°F (66°C) 2 to 5 hours.
-
Once the pork loin is done, carefully remove it from the sous vide bath and pat it dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Reserve bag juices for a pan sauce
-
Heat a heavy skillet or grill pan over medium-high heat and then give the pork loin a quick sear on all sides for 1-2 minutes per side or until a golden crust forms. Searing it on a hot pan adds a delicious caramelized flavor to the exterior of the meat.
-
Let the pork rest for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. Slice the sous vide pork roast into desired portions, serve, and enjoy!
