Equipment
- 1 air fryer
- 1 meat thermometer
- 1 cutting board
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 mixing bowl
Ingredients
- 2.5 lb beef roast (e.g., ribeye or sirloin)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoons dried rosemary
- 2 teaspoons dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to achieve a crispy exterior.
- Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to help create a nice crust during cooking.
- In a mixing bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, rosemary, thyme, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the beef roast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
- Carefully transfer the seasoned roast to the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s space around it for air circulation.
- Cook at 400°F (200°C) for approximately 20 minutes.
- After 20 minutes, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. For medium-rare, aim for 130°F (54°C) and for medium, aim for 145°F (63°C).
- If the desired temperature has not been reached, continue to cook the roast, checking the temperature every 5 minutes until it reaches your preferred doneness.
- Once done, remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for about 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
- Using a sharp knife, slice the roast against the grain into desired thickness and serve with your favorite sides.
Notes
You can adjust the seasoning to your taste or add other herbs and spices.
For best results, always use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking.
Leftover roast beef can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and makes great sandwiches.
