Tips/Suggestions for Sirloin Pork Chops

I suggest going with a bone-in loin chop. The picture you posted looks like what we call a pork steak in this area. Pork steaks are typically tough and have quite a bit of gristle in them. Best method to cook those is to braise them.

@JhawkJones thanks, I appreciate the suggestion! This is the type of chop I do like more - Iā€™ll try that one out for sous vide next time!

Iā€™ve had success with sirloin pork chops several times this year by first brining them overnight, blotting them dry with paper towels, vacuum packing, then cooking with my Anova @ 135F for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. The brining helps plump up the meat while enhancing its flavour. A quick sear in a very hot cast iron skillet (450F) keeps them tender and juicy. The brining compensates for the contemporary pork we get.
