Certainly! Here’s a simple recipe for air fryer roast beef along with some notes:
Air Fryer Roast Beef
Ingredients:
- 2 to 3 pounds of beef roast (such as sirloin or top round)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the Beef:
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
- In a small bowl, mix together olive oil, minced garlic, dried thyme, dried rosemary, salt, and black pepper to create a seasoning mixture.
- Season the Roast:
- Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire surface of the beef roast. Make sure to coat it thoroughly.
- Place in the Air Fryer:
- Place the seasoned roast in the air fryer basket, making sure it’s not overcrowded. If your air fryer is small, you may need to cook in batches.
- Cooking Time:
- Cook the roast in the preheated air fryer for about 20-25 minutes per pound for medium-rare, or adjust the time based on your desired level of doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Aim for 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, 145°F (63°C) for medium, and 160°F (71°C) for well-done.
- Resting Time:
- Once the roast reaches your desired doneness, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes before slicing. This allows the juices to redistribute and results in a juicier roast.
- Slice and Serve:
- Slice the roast against the grain into thin slices and serve. You can pair it with your favorite side dishes.
Notes:
- Size Matters: Adjust the cooking time based on the size and thickness of your roast. Larger roasts may require a bit more time.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure the roast is cooked to your preferred level of doneness, it’s recommended to use a meat thermometer. Insert it into the thickest part of the roast, avoiding bones if any.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to customize the seasoning mix to your liking. Add herbs, spices, or marinades that you enjoy.
- Check for Doneness: If you’re unsure about the doneness, it’s always better to slightly undercook the roast as you can always put it back in the air fryer if needed.
Enjoy your delicious air fryer roast beef!
