Air Fryer Roast Beef - 30-Minute Recipe

For a succulent roast beef dinner in a flash, the air fryer is your new best friend. Start with a well-marbled joint of beef, around 1 kg, seasoned generously with salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs—rosemary and thyme work wonderfully. Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 392°F) for a crisp exterior.

While it warms up, rub the beef with a drizzle of olive oil to enhance those delicious flavours. Once preheated, place the joint in the air fryer basket, ensuring it's not crowded—this allows for the best air circulation. Cook for approximately 25-30 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness. Use a meat thermometer to check for that perfect medium-rare, aiming for an internal temperature of 55°C (130°F).

As the meat cooks, the air fryer not only seals in moisture but also creates a delightful crust. Once done, let your roast beef rest for around 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables, and rich gravy for a quick yet satisfying Sunday roast any day of the week!
