Description
Air fryer roast beef or oven roasted beef with gravy remains a favorite Sunday meal. In this recipe, we've used an air fryer to make a delicious and simple roast beef.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.7/2 kg beef roast
- 2 to 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Meat Rub
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 200°C /400 F (Just turn the timer or set it for 5 minutes. The time that you're prepping the roast).
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels getting it as dry as possible.
- Get the meat rub onto a bowl, add the oil and combine. Use a brush or your clean fingers to rub the spice mix and the oil all over the beef making sure to cover it completely. Don't forget the salt, rub it all round over the seasonings and oil.
- Place the beef roast into your air fryer, either in the basket or the rack depending on which air fryer you have.
- Drop the temperature to 180°C and roast for 30 minutes. You can take it out half way and turn it over. Increase the heat back up to 200 °C and cook for a further 5 to 8 minutes. Check in-between to see if your roast is cooked enough for you. Using a thermometer this roast was done at an internal temperature of 65 to 69 degrees C (150 to 155 degrees F ) which is a medium well. Tip: Remember that the temperature of the meat will continue to rise a few degrees while it rests.
- Remove the beef from the air fryer and cover with foil to rest for 10 to 15 minutes before carving.
