Sous Vide Pork Chops with Onion Sauce

Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

• 2 (6-ounce) boneless pork chops
• Salt and black pepper
• 30 g yellow onion, chopped roughly
• 1 tbsp mirin
• 1.5 tbsp sake
• 2 tsp soy sauce
• 1/8 tsp garlic powder

Directions

1. Set the Sous Vide cooker to 140ºF (60ºC).
2. Generously season the pork chops with salt and pepper. Place in a large zip lock or vacuum seal bag. Seal the bag, purging air. Place bag in the water bath and set the timer for 1 hour.
3. In a microwavable tall, narrow container, add yellow onion and microwave for 30 seconds at 1200 W (?).
4. Add mirin, sake, soy sauce and garlic powder to onion. Microwave for 20 seconds at 1200 W (?).
5. Using an immersion blender, liquify the onion mixture.
6. Place a skillet on medium-high to high heat. Just as the oil just begins to smoke, add the pork chops and sear until golden brown, about 1 minute per side.
7. Reduce the heat to low and add onion sauce to reduce (thicken) the sauce.
