If you're looking for a delicious and hassle-free way to prepare roast beef, look no further than this easy air fryer recipe. Start with a succulent joint of beef, ideally a top-side or topside cut, seasoned generously with salt and cracked black pepper. Rub it with a touch of olive oil and your choice of herbs—rosemary and thyme work wonders.

Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (about 390°F), then place the seasoned beef into the basket. Cook for roughly 25 minutes per 500g for medium-rare, adjusting the time according to your preferred doneness. As it roasts, the air fryer will create a lovely crispy outer layer while keeping the inside juicy and tender.

Once cooked to perfection, allow the beef to rest for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve with Yorkshire puddings, roasted vegetables, and a rich gravy for a comforting Sunday dinner that’s sure to impress!
