🥩 Air Fryer Roast Beef Recipe

✅ Ingredients:

• 2 to 3 lb (900g – 1.4kg) beef roast (top round, sirloin, or eye of round work well)

• 1 tbsp olive oil

• 1 tsp salt

• 1/2 tsp black pepper

• 1 tsp garlic powder

• 1 tsp onion powder

• 1 tsp dried rosemary or thyme (optional)

• Cooking spray (if needed)

🔪 Instructions:

🔥 Step 1: Prep the Roast

1. Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels.

2. Rub olive oil all over the roast.

3. Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and rosemary (if using), then rub evenly on all sides of the meat.

4. Let the roast sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes for even cooking.

🍳 Step 2: Preheat the Air Fryer

• Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.

🕹️ Step 3: Cook the Roast

1. Place the roast in the air fryer basket.

2. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes to sear the outside.

3. Lower the temperature to 325°F (160°C) and continue cooking for:

   • 15–20 minutes per pound for medium-rare (130–135°F internal temp)

   • 20–25 minutes per pound for medium (140–145°F internal temp)

4. Flip the roast halfway through cooking.

🥩 Pro Tip: Use a meat thermometer for best results — it’s key to perfect doneness.

⏲️ Step 4: Rest and Slice

1. Remove the roast from the air fryer and loosely tent with foil.

2. Let it rest for 10–15 minutes before slicing — this keeps it juicy!

3. Slice thinly against the grain and serve.
