Ingredients

Scale

Beef Roast

  • 2 pounds beef roast (top sirloin or eye of round)

Seasoning Mix

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Remove the beef roast from the refrigerator about 20 minutes before cooking to bring it closer to room temperature. Pat the roast dry with paper towels.
  2. Season the Roast: In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, rosemary, onion powder, and thyme. Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire roast to ensure maximum flavor penetration.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F to achieve a perfect crust on the roast.
  4. Cook at High Temperature: Place the roast in the air fryer basket and cook for 15 minutes at 400°F. This initial high heat sears the roast, locking in juices and creating a flavorful crust.
  5. Continue Cooking at Lower Temperature: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 360°F and continue cooking for an additional 25 to 35 minutes, depending on the size of your roast and preferred doneness.
  6. Check Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature — aim for about 130°F for medium-rare or 140°F for medium.
  7. Rest the Roast: Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and juicy roast.
  8. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve immediately for a delicious meal.

Notes

  • Cooking times may vary according to the thickness of the roast and your specific air fryer model.
  • Allowing the meat to rest before slicing helps retain juices for a tender and flavorful roast.
