Ingredients
- 6 boneless pork chops (thick)
- 1 tsp. onion powder
- 1/2 tsp. dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
- 4 cups onions (sliced to about 1/4 thickness)
- 5 Tbsp. unsalted butter
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/4 cup dry sherry
- 2 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
- 6 slices provolone cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 370°F. You can do this by running your air fryer for 5 minutes.
- Line the drip tray of your air fryer with foil to make cleanup easier.
- Mix the onion powder, black pepper, salt, garlic powder and 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme to make the seasoning mix.
- Pat your pork chops dry and coat both sides with olive oil. Sprinkle seasonings on your pork chops.
- Cook the chops for 10 minutes flipping them over at the 5-minute mark. *This time will vary by pork chop thickness or bone-in varieties. For flavorful, tender and SAFE pork, cook whole muscle cuts (loin roasts, tenderloin, chops) until a meat thermometer reads 145⁰F followed by a 3-minute rest. A digital meat thermometer is the most accurate to read this temperature which is considered safe to eat. Set chops aside until onions are ready.
- Add butter and onions to a large cast-iron (or oven-safe skillet). Season with the remaining thyme and black pepper. Sauté onions stirring every few minutes over medium-high heat. Once ready they will be a deep, golden-brown color. This will take about 12 minutes. Sprinkle onions with flour and mix to combine until flour is dissolved.
- Slowly stir in the beef stock and sherry wine mixing the onions to scrape the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 3 minutes. Make sure the oven is empty and turn the BROIL setting on.
- Add the pork chops to the onions and cover them- remove a few onions from the pan and set aside.
- Add Provolone to each pork chop. Add the reserved onions to the top of each.
- Broil for 2-3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and browned.
- Serve immediately. These would be great served over mashed potatoes or white rice.
