Description

This Air Fryer Roast Beef Recipe is a quick and easy way to prepare a tender, flavorful beef roast with a crispy seared crust. Using an air fryer, the beef top round roast is seasoned with aromatic spices and cooked to your preferred doneness, making it perfect for a family dinner or meal prep. The roast is juicy and tender, ideal for slicing thinly for sandwiches or salads.

Ingredients

Beef Roast

  • 2 lb beef top round roast (room temperature)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Seasoning Rub

  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika

For Air Fryer

  • Cooking spray (for air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for searing.
  2. Prepare Seasoning: In a small bowl, combine kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and smoked paprika to create a seasoning rub.
  3. Season the Roast: Rub the beef roast all over with olive oil, then evenly coat it with the seasoning mixture, pressing gently to adhere the spices to the meat.
  4. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  5. Sear the Roast: Place the seasoned roast into the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes to sear the outside, developing a flavorful crust.
  6. Cook at Lower Temperature: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 320°F (160°C) and continue cooking the roast for 30 to 40 minutes, flipping halfway through. Approximately 35 minutes will yield medium-rare doneness with an internal temperature of 135°F; cook longer if you prefer a higher degree of doneness.
  7. Rest the Roast: Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest on a cutting board for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the juices to redistribute for a tender and juicy result.
  8. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve warm. Leftovers work well in sandwiches or salads.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature for best doneness results.
  • Letting the beef rest after cooking is crucial for juicy and tender slices.
  • Leftover roast beef is perfect for sandwiches or adding to salads.
  • Ensure the roast is at room temperature before cooking for even cooking.
