Pork Shoulder

Roasted Baby Potatoes

Demi-Glace Sauce

Method

Pork Shoulder Preparation

  1. 1

    Season and Vacuum Seal

    Season the pork shoulder with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Rub all over the meat. Place the seasoned pork shoulder in a vacuum-seal bag with olive oil, fresh thyme, and rosemary. Vacuum seal the bag.

  2. 2

    Sous Vide Cooking

    Preheat your sous vide water bath to 165°F (74°C). Submerge the vacuum-sealed pork shoulder in the water bath and cook for 24 hours.

Roasted Baby Potatoes

  1. 3

    Prepare and Roast

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). In a bowl, toss the baby potatoes with olive oil, salt, black pepper, and fresh rosemary. Spread them on a baking sheet and roast for 30-35 minutes until golden and crispy.

Broccoli Preparation

  1. 4

    Roast the Broccoli

    Toss the broccoli florets with olive oil, salt, and garlic powder. Spread on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 20 minutes, until tender and slightly charred.

Demi-Glace Sauce Preparation

  1. 5

    Make the Sauce

    In a saucepan, combine beef stock, red wine, shallots, and fresh thyme. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer. Cook until the sauce reduces by half, about 30 minutes. Remove from heat and whisk in butter.

Final Assembly

  1. 6

    Plate and Serve

    Once the pork shoulder is done cooking, remove it from the bag and sear it in a hot skillet with a bit of oil until browned. Slice and serve with roasted baby potatoes, roasted broccoli, and demi-glace sauce drizzled on top.
