Best pork chops for air-frying

Want to make the best pork chop ever in your air fryer? You’ll need thick, center-cut chops with the bone in. They take about 12-15 minutes to cook, which gives them the perfect charred outside.

Ensure to get pork chops at least 1.5 to 2 inches thick. Anything thinner won’t be able to stay on the grill long enough to get that charred look. You will not be unhappy with the end result. These pork chops will be a success with their tasty, crispy outside.

To produce the rub, only a few pantry essentials, including brown sugar, paprika, ground mustard, onion powder, salt, and pepper. This rub is similar to the one we’ve used in this air-fryer pork tenderloin recipe. 

Just combine these ingredients and spread them liberally over your rinsed, dried, and lightly oiled pork chops. I guarantee that investing the extra time to rinse and dry the pork chops will be worthwhile since it will ensure that the rub sticks to the flesh precisely. Prepare yourself to experience the very best in pork chop excellence!

Garlic Butter for Pork Chops

The garlic butter sauce, however, that I served with the pork chops was what really elevated them to a new level. I made the sauce by melting butter in a small dish and mixing in thyme and minced garlic. I poured the sauce over the pork chops after letting the butter and garlic heat for a couple of minutes until the garlic was fragrant.

The delicious rub and the garlicky butter sauce went along beautifully. The sauce gave the pork chops a fantastic depth of flavor that truly made them shine. The pork chops were soft and juicy. In conclusion, I would certainly suggest trying air-fried pork chops with garlic butter sauce because they are simple to make and quite tasty!

How to make Air-Fryer Pork Chops with Garlic Butter

Don’t forget to heat your air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees before you start cooking. Once it’s hot, put your pork chops in and cook them for 12-15 minutes (depending on the pork chop thickness), turning them over halfway through.

When the timer goes off, take them out and let them sit for a few minutes before slicing and serving. We’re sure that the tasty mix of seasonings and natural pork juices will make you want more.

Step 1: First, make the garlic butter. Just mix the softened butter, thyme, garlic, and salt together in a small bowl until everything is well blended.

Step 2: Set up your air fryer by preheating it for 5 minutes at 400F.

Step 3: Rinse your pork chops with cold water and pat them dry using a paper towel. This makes it easier for the rub to stick and gives the meat a crispier texture.

Step 4: Mix all the dry ingredients together in a small bowl to make a tasty rub. Ensure that you incorporate the rub into the meat well.

Step 5: Put the pork chops in the air fryer and cook them at 400 degrees for 12 minutes, turning them over halfway through to ensure they cook evenly. Use a thermometer to check the temperature inside the pork to make sure it is cooked just right. 145°F is the ideal temperature for pork. This will make sure that it is safe to eat and that it is cooked just right. 

Step 6: When the pork chops are done to your liking, drizzle a lot of garlic butter over them before serving. Your taste buds will love the combination of the tender meat and the fragrant, savory garlic sauce.

Important Tips for Juicy Pork Chops

Thickness is the most important thing to look for when choosing pork chops for a meal. Cuts should be at least 1 inch thick so they don’t get too dry while cooking. I always go for at least 1 1/2 to 2 inches of pork chops for the best results. 

Depending on how thick the pork is, the cooking time may change, but it’s more important to watch the internal temperature than the amount of time the pork spends in the air fryer. Use a meat thermometer to ensure your pork is cooked to the right temperature.

When the temperature inside the chops reaches 145°F, take them out of the air fryer and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This easy method will help you make pork chops that are always cooked to perfection.

Don’t trim off the fat around the edges of your pork chops if you want them to stay juicy and flavorful. This will help keep the edges from getting too dry while they cook.

What is Louisiana Hot Sauce?

Made of vinegar, red pepper, and salt, Louisiana Hot Sauce is a sort of hot sauce that is frequently used in Cajun cuisine. It is a thin, hot sauce that is frequently used to flavor and spice up Cajun delicacies like gumbo and jambalaya.

Additionally, it is frequently used as a marinade or seasoning for vegetables, fish, and meats. A versatile condiment that can be utilized in various dishes, Louisiana Hot Sauce has a tangy, spicy flavor with a balance of heat and vinegar.

Since the 1800s, this hot sauce has been made with tasty fermented chilies and aged in oak barrels to give it more flavor, and in 1928 Bruce Foods first marketed it. It’s the perfect way to give your dishes a Cajun flavor without burning your mouth.

While both spicy sauces contain peppers and vinegar, they are prepared from different types of peppers and have distinct flavor profiles.

Try apple cider vinegar for a fruity sweetness. Malt vinegar, which is made from barley ale, gives food a strong, unique taste. You could also try balsamic vinegar, coconut vinegar, or raisin vinegar for even more choices. There are a lot of things you can do. Choose what you like and start experimenting!

Today, we’re sharing a delicious traditional beef olives recipe that will impress your guests and elevate your dinner parties. This recipe is easy to follow and produces succulent and flavorful beef olives that are sure to become a favorite. 

So, let’s get started and learn how to make these mouth-watering beef olives!

A traditional British dish known as “beef olives” consists of filled, thinly sliced beef folded into a parcel and slowly cooked in a rich brown sauce.

Since the Middle Ages, beef olives have been a staple of British cooking. One would assume that they truly contain olives based on the name. While this is not the case, you can certainly experiment by adding some olives to the dish. 🙂

The British term”Beef Olive” refers to beef that has been wrapped around a flavorful filling, browned, and finished in a brown sauce.

So, What are Beef Olives?

In their most basic form, Beef Olives are thin beef steaks wrapped around sausage meat, minced beef, veal, or a breadcrumb foundation with anchovies; however, I’ve opted to use Stilton cheese in my filling because it pairs so nicely with beef.

The packed beef rolls get their olive title because they resemble an olive when they are neatly wrapped with string. Veal steaks were also commonly used in the past.

The key to making them juicy and flavorful is browning them in a skillet before finishing them up in a casserole. I found that cooking them in a rich red wine beef stock brought out the best in the delicate beef and the stuffing.

Not to brag, but this Beef Olives recipe is hard to top as a wonderfully delicious dinner that will fill up the whole family when served with Hasselback potatoes and veggies.

Recipe Variations

Beef – substitute beef with chicken breasts sliced in two pieces and pounded in the zip-lock bag using a meat mallet. You can also use turkey or pork escalopes.

For the stuffing – You can use sausage meat, minced chicken, pork, or beef.

Mushrooms – for added flavor, use rehydrated porcini or shiitake mushrooms.

Stilton – for a unique flavor, try another blue cheese like Gorgonzola, Roquefort or brie, or camembert.

Ingredients you’ll need

Beef – Steak sliced thinly and long for frying. It really doesn’t need to be of a specific quality because it will be baked at low heat in the oven.

Beef stock – Either in cube form or canned.

Vegetable oil – I advise you to use Canola oil for this recipe. I know you are tempted to use olive oil instead. 🙂

Flour – All-purpose flour is best for this recipe.

Onion and Carrots –  I use yellow onion. It needs to be cut and used for the brown sauce.

Seasonings – Sea salt flakes and finely ground black pepper make up the seasoning.

For Beef Olives stuffing:

Breadcrumbs – Store-bought breadcrumbs or prepared from 4 small bread pieces in a food processor.

Shallots – Banana shallots are simpler to peel than their smaller counterparts when it comes to shallots.

Mushrooms – Either white mushrooms or any other kind that you have available.

Cheese – Stilton cheese or any other blue cheese will do. As I’ve said before, you can experiment with other kinds of blue cheese. 

Egg – As in many other recipes, eggs are used for binding.

Thyme & Rosemary – I’m using freshly cut thyme and rosemary for a lovely addition to the flavor.

How to make Beef Olives

Step 1: Remove the skins off the shallots and clean or peel the mushrooms. Finely chop. For around five min over low to medium heat, soften the mushrooms and shallots in 1 tbsp of the oil.

Step 2: Add the shallot and mushroom mixture to the rest of the stuffing ingredients in a large bowl and stir to combine. Split the mixture and create 4-5 sausage shapes that are the same size as the beef. Put the beef slices on a cutting board, add the filling on one of the ends, and roll your beef. Replicate with the rest of the pieces, and then tie them into a package with kitchen string.

Step 3: Put a piece of string on the board, and then put the beef olive. Turn the beef over, then tighten the string and create a knot. Cut the ends off.

Step 4: Heat the rest of the oil using the same pan. Cook the onions and sliced carrots for five min, or until they are soft, and then put them in a small dish for the oven. Turn the heat up, season the meat, sear it on all sides, and then put it on top of the onions.

Step 5: To make the brown sauce, heat the butter until it starts to foam, then add the flour and stir for 1 min. Next, add the stock slowly while stirring, and bring to a boil for a minute to make it thicker. At first, the mixture will look lumpy, but as you stir it, it will smooth out.

Step 6: Cover the beef with the brown sauce, then bake it at 350F for 50-60 minutes. 

Step 7: After 50 minutes, test the beef’s doneness with a fork; thicker rolls may require additional cooking time. After resting for a few minutes, cut the thread from the beef buns and serve them with the onion gravy and mashed potatoes.

Can I make Beef Olives in advance?

Totally! A day ahead of time, make the filling and roll up the beef parcels to chill in the fridge. Get the sauce ready and pop it in the oven an hour before you want to dine.

How to store Beef Olives?

You can make the filled beef packages a day ahead of time and keep them refrigerated and covered. Meat and gravy leftovers can be kept in the refrigerator for up to three days. Do not attempt to store this dish in the freezer.

Can Beef Olives be reheated?

We advise eating your beef olives as soon as they are prepared because reheating might dry up the beef and make it difficult to heat the food fully due to the various stuffings.

If reheating is required, we advise using a meat thermometer to make that your olive is well cooked.

What makes this dish excellent?

• This meal is excellent for making a very small quantity of a less expensive cut of beef go a long way, making it highly cost-effective.
• A variety of filling variation options to suit different tastebuds.
• Because the cheese holds the filling in place and the packed beef rolls slice easily, this meal is also sophisticated enough for your guests.
