Big Ass Pork chops! - Augie91 - 10-11-2022

Fareway had a sale on some of the biggest center cut chops I've ever seen in the state of Iowa!  What's best way to cook them?  I'm thinking about doing them the way I do my filet mignons...pan fry/baste for a few minutes with garlic butter/spices, 2 minutes per side then throw in 400 degree oven for finish.  I found a recipe that calls for doing a salt water brine, never done that,  I may try.

I got some oven fry, but I'm thinking that's more for thin chops!

Brine them

Will do!  Each chop is over a pound a piece.
I am anxious to try a salt brine.  Making them tomorrow night!!  Hope your day went well DJ!    KC gutted it out last night!!

Add some pickling spice too.

The only thing I've ever done with thick chops is stuff them..

Hmmmmm.......

Like breadcrumb stuffing or something else??

I got eight of them, 2 meals worth.  Maybe go old school for first go round then stuff them for next meal!!

You can stuff them with a lot of stuff. I've had Stovetop Stuffing, pizza sauce/pepperoni\mozz at finish, olives/basil/garlic/feta at finish.
Probably some better ideas online..

I get thick cut chops at Costco, found sous vide the best way to get them cooked without drying them out. Then cast iron pan to sear.

I need to explore getting a sous vide setup someday. I just recently got an air fryer. I'm usually about 5 years behind the curve on new kitchen gadgets Smile

Do you marinade before sous vide?
