SV Pork Loin - Check my plan

[illini40]

Good morning

As I posted the other day (https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/sv-where-to-start.304249/), I’m new to sous vide.

I have thawed out a 3lb pork loin, that is a bit over 4” thick in the thickest part. Per the Joule app, it is suggesting the following.

Does this sound good?

- sear and then bag
- 5 hours at 144*
- sear again at the end

Thank you!

Think that would work fine. Are you vac sealing or freezer bag ? If bag, I always put a knife or something in there and then displace air to help keep submerged. Good Luck and enjoy !
I guess not sure why they suggest sear before, I would think a lot of your seasoning may stick to pan ? Just my thought...

The pork loin is in. The Joule is set at 144*.

I ended up not doing a pre-sear.

Roasted some garlic, onions, rosemary, salt, pepper, and oregano in butter. Then added that to the loin (that was rubbed down with oil, salt and pepper), in the vac seal bag. Fingers crossed.

The pork loin turned out great! I am very excited to keep learning more about sous vide.

This was the juiciest pork loin I have ever cooked. And super easy. I think we were just surprised at how precise it was.

I did not get the best sear, and I think I need to approach the sear differently next time. But, still turned out great.

Pork loin after 5 hours in the bath, before searing.

After searing on the stove, in a grill pan.

Sliced and juicy.

We ended up putting some brussel sprouts in the bath, as well, and then finished them in a skillet for some browning. Super tasty!

It looks delicious! And moist. Very nice job.
