How to Make Roast Beef in the Air Fryer

  • Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F.
  • Rise the roast and pat dry. Rub the roast with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with your favorite steak seasoning. Place the roast in the air fryer at 400°F for 15 minutes.
  • While the roast sears, toss the potatoes and carrots with the remaining olive oil, salt, and pepper.
  • Once the roast is done searing, turn the air fryer down to 325°F, add the potatoes and carrots to the air fryer basket, and cook for 25 minutes
  • Check the roast for doneness with a thermometer. The internal temperature should be 145°F. If the roast isn’t cooked through, continue cooking for an additional 5 minutes. If the vegetables are tender, remove them from the air fryer and cover.
  • Once the roast is cooked, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing

Helpful Notes:

  • Keep the fat on the roast to ensure it stays juicy and flavorful. Remove the fat before serving if you wish.
  • Leftover roast beef makes for delicious sandwiches the next day!
  • Cook time may vary, so check the meat often when it’s nearing the end of its cooking time.
