Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 2–3 pound beef roast (top round or sirloin)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the roast starts cooking immediately, helping to create a nice crust. - Prepare the seasoning
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, chopped rosemary, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika. Mix well to create a flavorful herb and spice blend. - Season the roast
Rub the beef roast with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Then, apply the herb and spice mixture all over the roast, pressing it gently to adhere. - Cook the roast
Place the seasoned roast in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes to develop a crispy exterior. Then, reduce the temperature to 360°F (180°C) and continue cooking for another 15-17 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare. Adjust cooking time for desired doneness. - Rest and serve
Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat. After resting, slice the roast against the grain and serve.
Notes
- Temper the roast by removing it from the refrigerator 30 minutes before cooking for even cooking.
- For larger roasts, increase cooking time in small increments and use a meat thermometer for accuracy.
- Experiment with different herbs like thyme or oregano, or add Worcestershire sauce for extra flavor.
- Let the roast rest after cooking to ensure juiciness and easier slicing.
