2 tbsp soy sauce

3 cloves minced garlic

Method
PREPARATION
-
Make cuts every 1/2-inch along the pork chops' fat strip to prevent curling during searing.
-
Mince or press garlic into small pieces.
-
Combine ketchup, honey, soy sauce, and garlic in a large bowl.
-
Incorporate until a syrupy glaze forms.
-
Using a marinade brush or the back of a spoon apply the honey garlic sauce to the pork chops.
-
Retain 1/4 cup of the honey garlic sauce.
-
Place pork chops and any remaining sauce in a vacuum sealable bag, seal until airtight.
-
Refrigerate for at least one hour, but up to overnight.
COOKING
-
Heat water bath to 145F
-
Place vacuum sealed pork chops in a water bath for 1 1/2 hours.
-
When done, carefully remove from water bath and discard cooking liquid.
-
Pat as dry as possible using paper towel.
SEARING
- Heat 2 tbsp of butter in a cast iron or non-stick pan.
- When ripping hot lay pork chops away from you into the pan. Make sure you have your kitchen exhaust fan turned on!
- Cook for 30-seconds to 1-minute per side. When flipping, quickly apply the glaze we retained earlier to help finish and color the chop.
- After flipping and glazing both sides use a pair of tongs to sear the fat strip along the pork chops' sides.
- Remove from pan and let rest for 3-5 minutes then serve.
