Ingredients
Scale
Beef Roast
- 2 lb beef roast (top sirloin or eye of round)
Seasoning
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Instructions
- Prepare the Beef: Pat the beef roast dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, then rub the olive oil evenly all over the surface to help the seasonings adhere and promote browning.
- Season the Roast: In a small bowl, mix together kosher salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, dried rosemary, and dried thyme. Rub this seasoning blend liberally and evenly over the entire beef roast.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (204°C) for about 3 minutes to ensure it’s hot enough to sear the meat properly.
- Sear the Roast: Place the seasoned roast into the air fryer basket and cook at 400°F for 10 minutes. This high heat sears the outside, locking in juices and developing flavor.
- Continue Cooking: Lower the air fryer temperature to 325°F (163°C) and cook for an additional 25 to 30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature for your preferred doneness: 130°F for medium-rare, 140°F for medium.
- Rest the Meat: Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest uncovered for 10 minutes. This helps the juices redistribute throughout the meat, making it tender and juicy.
- Serve: Slice the roast thinly against the grain and serve while warm. Leftovers are great for sandwiches or wraps.
Notes
- Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking and achieve your desired doneness perfectly.
- Leftovers make excellent sandwiches or wraps, adding versatility to your meal prep.
- For added flavor, marinate the beef overnight in the fridge with olive oil and herbs before cooking.
