How to Turn Cheap Pork Shoulder into the Ultimate Pork Chop | ChefSteps

  • The problem with cooking pork chops is no matter how well you cook them, they’re still pork chops. Classic loin chops are usually super lean, kind of bland and uninteresting.
    With sous vide, there’s another way: the pork shoulder chop.
    www.chefsteps.com/activities/...
    A pork shoulder, cooked at a low temperature for more than 16 hours, can be chilled and cut into “chops” that are way more interesting and tastier than any pork chop you can buy at the store. All the connective tissue in the shoulder melts into lip-smackingly juicy gelatin, and the chop has a texture reminiscent of great steak: meaty, with a delicate, tender chew.

    In the US, pork loin and center cut pork chops are often preferred for the same reason chicken and turkey breast are preferred. Because many folks here don't like their meat to taste too meaty or be too fatty. Hope it stays that way, because I like that shoulder and dark meat are cheaper cuts of meat.

      Gabe Newell (of Steam/Valve) called back his original investment that created ChefSteps. The company laid off everyone, the founder left to make a thermometer, and some of the core cooking staff took a year off to soul search while traveling the world. The company ended up getting sold to Breville and now ChefSteps does recipe dev for them along with their studio pass thing.

    To do it without sous vide, you can slice shoulder into steaks then marinate with pinapple and papaya blended. The weird feeling you get on your tongue from pineapple is bromelain breaking down protein. Don't go over 6 hours or you'll have a powdery mess.

      @huytheskigod 6 місяців тому

      About 7 years ago, ChefSteps had a recipe/technique where you remove the bone from the whole shoulder. Then, use "Meat Glue" (Transglutiminase) to glue the whole shoulder back into one piece. Sous Vide, chill and portion just like this video. I still do this sometimes. It's great to have pre-portion vacuum sealed steaks/chops in the freezer that I just toss into the sous vide to bring back to temp before searing.

    Season pork butt

    Chill and portion into 1" steaks
    Refrigerate/freeze, and reheat at 140F as necessary

  • @Yodaismycopilot
    @Yodaismycopilot 2 місяці тому

    0:43 I thought leaner cuts of meat are from muscles that get more use (more exercise?) And more marbled cuts are from muscles that get less use(less exercise/more fat)? But the chef says it's the other way around.. But later clarifies that the more-used muscle has more connective tissue that turns into gelatin with sous vide for a juicier outcome. Interesting, but how do I know if my meat has lots of connective tissue or is simply well marbled? Just by looking at it raw, before cooking?

      They don't use a lot of electricity at all, especially after it reaches temp. You can research this if you want to, but most immersion circulators are about 1Kw or lower, and that's only the max capacity as it's heating up initially. After that, it doesn't need as much energy and likely costs only a few cents an hour to run. Not enough to notice on your utility bill
