SV lamb chops

caliking

Sorry - took just 1 pic.

Boneless sirloin lamb chops. SV @140F x 2-3 hours. Seasoned after the bath and grilled on the mini with the lid open for a couple of  minutes per side. Was aiming for just short of medium, since caliprince was going to eat some. The Calypso is currently his favorite rub. 



Served with leftover fried rice from somewhere and baby bok choy. Made a sauce with Better Than Bouillon beef, garlic, pepper, red wine, onions and served on the side. Turned out quite well. First time cooking this cut and I was very pleased. I also realized that I've been leaving lamb in the SV for way too long (used to do racks for 24 hrs, then 12hrs, then 4 hrs). I think 2 hours is just about right.

 It was a good simple dinner and my little man approved .

Nice, would have loved to see a sliced shot though!  I recall doing a boneless leg of lamb sv for too long and it turned mushy, still haven't figure out why it firmed up a lot after freezing and reheating

Wasn't sure if i would be able to cook them for >2 hrs initially so I went with the higher temp. I think caliprince can handle  an IT of 135. Will try it out next time, when I'm a little more organized.

caliprince will start eating the furniture if dinner is late, so I was trying to hustle

I imagine your SV leg of lamb firmed up because the meat/muscle fibers contracted as a result of the freezing and reheating?

These were really easy. I had forgotten to start up the SV before leaving the house in the afternoon, so I called SWMBO and had her drop the chops in when I remembered that I was supposed to get dinner ready. These were from Kroger, vac sealed in original packaging, and went in to the bath as is. Seasoned before hitting the egg, and they turned out great.
