There are several different pics of these, and different ways to fix them. All basically the same. All Pork Shoulder, and all well seasoned with a flour coating. The flour seals the seasoning and juices inside the Pork.
Spritzing the surface of the flour coating on the meat with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) prevents dry spots on the meat as you air fry.
1 1/2 lb slab of Pork Shoulder/Butt (should be about 1 1/4- 1 1/2” thick).
3-6 Tbsp AP flour.
1/4 tsp Italian Seasoning.
1/2 tsp Mrs Dash Onion and Herb (Purple lid). OR Tony Chachere’s Creole
1/2 tsp Slap ya Mama Seasoning (Spicy) or just Johnnies Seasoning Salt or equivalent.
EVOO Spritzer for spraying the floured meat
OPTIONAL:
2-1/4” Slices of 1 sweet Onion.
4 1/4” slices of Tomato.
Cut your slab of Pork and lay it on a plate or cookie sheet and let your Pork come to room temp.
Sprinkle one side of the Pork with Slap ya Mama and the other side with Mrs Dash Onion and Herb seasoning.
Scoop Flour in a gallon sized Baggie.
Drop the Meat into the flour in the baggie. Zip the baggie closed, leaving some air in it as you zip it closed. Shake the meat in the baggie to cover all surfaces with flour. Let it set in the flour for a few minutes to absorb more flour to coat it well.
Spritz the top of the coated meat well with EVOO (olive oil) this will prevent dry spots of flour on the Meat.
Optional:
Place the slabs of Onion On the Meat. You may have to cut one in half to fit it on the meat… Then place tomato slabs on the Onion slabs.
Sprinkle Tomato with a dash of sugar if they are not good tomatoes, Salt and Pepper, and then sprinkle with Italian Seasoning. Spritz well with EVOO but don’t soak them.
Preheat the Oven to 425° or air fryer to 400°. If using the Duo Crisp, spray the upper rack and the top of the pot with Pam for easy clean up. (The Breville BSOA can go to 480° use this for crisper outsides).
Place the Meat on the Air fryer Rack or on a broiler rack with a pan under it to catch the drippings. (See several of the pics for different rack ideas)
Cook for 15 minutes, check them, at this point, you may want to remove the onion and tomato and set it beside the meat so that the surface will get crisp…and the veggies will keep cooking. Cook for 5-10 min more.
If using the Duo Crisp air fryer, flip the meat half way through……
This is another version…
If you have an Breville air fryer, turn it to Air Fry 480° cover the Pork Steak and Air Fry for 25-30 min.
And yet Another:
And Another without onion or Tomatoes, just a light coating.
