Introduction to Air Frying a Double Cut Pork Chop

Forget everything you thought you knew about air fryers being limited to reheating leftovers or crisping up frozen snacks. This recipe isn’t just about cooking a double cut pork chop; it’s about elevating it to culinary perfection using modern kitchen technology. Thanks to the intelligent synergy between the Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer and the Typhur Sync Gold wireless thermometer, this substantial pork chop isn’t merely cooked—it’s transformed into a masterpiece. Expect unbelievably juicy, tender meat encased in a beautifully crispy, golden-brown exterior, a result that would even impress the most seasoned grill masters.

The brilliance of this method lies in its precision and ease. No more guessing, no more anxious hovering over a pan or grill. The wireless thermometer communicates directly with the air fryer, ensuring your pork chop reaches the ideal internal temperature with scientific accuracy. This sophisticated pairing takes all the guesswork out of cooking a thick cut, guaranteeing a consistently perfect medium-well finish (or your preferred doneness) every single time. And to truly complete this extraordinary meal, we’re not stopping at just the chop. We’re pairing it with an incredibly rich, umami-packed homemade mushroom gravy that complements the pork chop in every savory bite.

Tech Meets Taste: The Precision Cooking Method for Your Air Fried Pork Chop

Let’s delve into what truly sets this recipe apart: the harmonious blend of premium ingredients and cutting-edge technology. At the heart of this dish is a magnificent, double-cut, bone-in pork chop, weighing a substantial 1.3 pounds. This isn’t your everyday thin-sliced grocery store chop; this is a serious piece of meat, offering incredible flavor and a satisfying texture. Sourced from quality providers like Wild Fork, these chops are designed to impress and deserve a cooking method that brings out their best. Traditionally, such a thick cut might steer you towards a grill or a heavy cast-iron pan, but the Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer rises to the challenge, handling the chop’s size with remarkable efficiency and finesse.

The key to unlocking perfection with a thick cut like this is temperature control, and that’s where the Typhur Sync Gold wireless thermometer becomes indispensable. Inserted precisely into the thickest part of the chop, this smart probe provides continuous, real-time temperature readings directly to the Dome 2. This intelligent communication allows the air fryer to accurately estimate the remaining cook time, eliminating all uncertainty. You’ll receive timely alerts when your pork chop is nearing its target temperature, enabling you to achieve your desired doneness, whether that’s a perfect 145°F for medium-well or a slightly lower internal temp for medium-rare, knowing it will carry over-cook during resting. This means less stress, no frantic poking or prodding, and more time to focus on other aspects of your meal, like crafting that incredible mushroom gravy.

The air fryer’s convection cooking not only ensures even heat distribution, but it also creates that coveted crispy, browned exterior that’s hard to achieve without significant effort in other cooking methods. The circulating hot air crisps the surface beautifully while keeping the interior moist and tender. This combination of powerful air frying and intelligent temperature monitoring truly makes preparing a thick air fried double cut pork chop a foolproof and enjoyable experience.

Why This Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop Recipe Works So Well

This recipe is a triumph of culinary control, precise timing, and elegant simplicity. Preparing an Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop with this method feels almost like a cheat code for gourmet cooking. Instead of relying on years of experience or a delicate “feel” to determine doneness, the integrated technology provides absolute precision. This is particularly crucial when dealing with such a substantial cut of meat, where the exterior can appear perfectly cooked long before the center has reached a safe and succulent temperature. The Typhur system eliminates any guesswork, ensuring a consistently delicious result.

Furthermore, the process is incredibly streamlined. While the air fryer diligently cooks your pork chop to perfection, you’re free to prepare the supporting cast – the rich, flavorful mushroom gravy. The beauty of this recipe extends beyond just the main course; it incorporates the precious drippings from the rested pork chop directly into the gravy. This simple yet profound step intensifies the gravy’s flavor, adding an incredible depth and savory richness that elevates the entire dish. It’s a testament to minimizing waste and maximizing taste.

The final outcome is nothing short of spectacular: a pork chop so tender it practically melts in your mouth, slicing effortlessly. Each bite is infused with a natural juiciness, complemented by the earthy, robust flavors of the mushroom gravy. This umami-packed sauce, balanced with a subtle tang from a hint of mustard, transforms the humble pork chop into a hearty and deeply satisfying meal. The overall experience is savory, comforting, and wonderfully harmonious.

Crafting the Ultimate Mushroom Gravy

The mushroom gravy is far from a mere accompaniment; it’s an integral component that weaves the entire dish together. We begin by roasting fresh mushrooms in the air fryer alongside the pork chop, a method that coaxes out their deep, earthy flavors and gives them a beautiful caramelized brown. Tossed with a simple yet effective blend of avocado oil, salt, pepper, fragrant Herbes de Provence, and a dash of “Dad Dust” (a perfect 50/50 mix of granulated garlic and onion powder for an extra layer of savory depth), these mushrooms reach peak flavor and texture.

Once perfectly browned, these roasted mushrooms become the star of our luscious homemade gravy. In a pan set over medium heat, unsalted butter is melted and gently bubbled before all-purpose flour is whisked in to create a classic roux. This base is cooked for a few minutes to eliminate any raw flour taste, then gradually whisked with rich beef broth until smooth and thickened. The addition of Worcestershire sauce brings a complex umami note, while a surprising touch of honey mustard adds a bright, balanced tang that cuts through the richness, preventing the gravy from being too heavy. Each ingredient is carefully layered, simmered to perfection, allowing the flavors to meld into a velvety, aromatic sauce. When the roasted mushrooms are added, they soak up the gravy’s goodness, becoming tender vessels of incredible flavor, truly completing the Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop experience.

Tips for Air Frying Success

To ensure your Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop turns out perfectly every time, here are a few expert tips:

• **Room Temperature Start:** Always allow your pork chop to come to room temperature for about 30-60 minutes before cooking. This ensures more even cooking from edge to center.
• **Generous Seasoning:** Don’t be shy with your seasoning. A thick chop can handle a good amount of salt, pepper, and your chosen rub (like “Dad Dust”).
• **Probe Placement:** Ensure your wireless thermometer probe is inserted into the thickest part of the meat, avoiding the bone, for the most accurate internal temperature reading.
• **Optimal Browning:** For superior browning and crispiness, consider brushing the pork chop lightly with avocado oil before placing it in the air fryer. This helps achieve that desirable golden crust.
• **Resting is Crucial:** Once the chop reaches your desired internal temperature, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. The internal temperature will also continue to rise during this time (carry-over cooking).
• **Air Fryer Basket Setup:** For large cuts like a double cut pork chop, sometimes removing the internal grate to place the chop directly on the bottom of the air fryer basket can provide better heat contact and air circulation, especially in models like the Typhur Dome 2.
• **Shake the Mushrooms:** When cooking the mushrooms, don’t forget to shake the basket halfway through. This ensures all sides get evenly exposed to the hot air, leading to uniform browning and tenderness.

The Final Word on This Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop

When all is said and done, this recipe for an Air Fried Double Cut Pork Chop with Mushroom Gravy delivers far more than just a delicious meal; it’s a testament to what’s achievable when exceptional ingredients meet smart technology. The pork chop emerges from the air fryer beautifully cooked, incredibly juicy, and bursting with flavor. The accompanying mushroom gravy adds the perfect touch of richness and savory depth, tying the entire dish together in a symphony of tastes. All of this culinary magic happens within a convenient countertop appliance, with minimal fuss and no constant supervision required.

For anyone who appreciates the synergy of cooking with modern tech, or simply desires a reliable method to create an impressive meal without being tethered to the stove, this recipe is an absolute revelation.

Equipment

• Typhur Dome 2 Airfryer
• Typhur Sync Gold Wireless Thermometer
• Pan
• Whisk

Ingredients

Pork Chops:

• 1.3 lb Double Cut Pork Chop
• Dad Dust (or your favorite dry rub blend of granulated garlic and onion)
• Sea Salt, to taste
• Black Pepper, to taste
• Avocado Oil

Mushroom Gravy:

• 16 oz Mushrooms (cremini or button)
• 2 tablespoons Avocado Oil
• 2 tablespoons Sea Salt, estimate
• 2 tablespoons Black Pepper, estimate
• 2 tablespoons Dad Dust, estimate (a custom blend of granulated garlic and onion powder)
• 1 tablespoon Herb De Provence, estimate
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted Butter
• 3 tablespoons All Purpose Flour
• 2 Cups Beef Broth (low sodium recommended)
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
• 2 tablespoons Honey Mustard (or Dijon mustard with a touch of honey)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pork Chop: Season the double cut pork chop generously with Dad Dust (or your preferred dry rub), sea salt, and black pepper on all sides. Allow the chop to rest at room temperature while you prepare the mushrooms; this helps ensure even cooking.
2. Roast the Mushrooms: Preheat the Typhur Dome 2 Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. In a bowl, toss the sliced mushrooms with 2 tablespoons of avocado oil and all the mushroom gravy spices: sea salt, black pepper, Dad Dust, and Herb De Provence. Once the air fryer is preheated, spread the seasoned mushrooms in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10 minutes, then shake the basket to redistribute. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes, or until the mushrooms are deeply browned and tender. Remove and set aside.
3. Air Fry the Pork Chop: Remove the grate accessory from the Dome 2 for direct contact with the basket if your model allows for better searing. Insert your Typhur Sync Gold probe into the thickest part of the pork chop, ensuring it avoids the bone. Drizzle a little avocado oil over the chop, then carefully place it in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400°F (200°C). Cook until the probe reads 145°F (63°C) for medium-well, or 125°F (52°C) for medium-rare (it will reach 145°F after resting due to carry-over cooking). Once the desired temperature is reached, remove the chop from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for at least 10 minutes.
4. Make the Gravy: While the pork chop is cooking and resting, place a medium pan over medium heat. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter and allow it to melt and begin to bubble gently. Add 3 tablespoons of all-purpose flour and whisk vigorously to create a smooth roux. Cook the roux for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it forms a light golden paste and smells nutty. Gradually whisk in 2 cups of beef broth until thoroughly combined and smooth. Bring to a simmer and cook for another 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons of Worcestershire sauce, whisk, and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Finally, add 2 tablespoons of honey mustard and whisk until fully incorporated. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the gravy has reached your desired consistency. Stir in the roasted mushrooms just before serving.
5. Serve: Slice the rested double cut pork chop against the grain and serve immediately, generously topped with the rich mushroom gravy and roasted mushrooms. Enjoy!
