Ingredients

  • For the beef:
  • 1 ½ lbs beef roast room temperature
  • 1 tbsp cooking oil
  • 2 ¼ tsp kosher salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • For the gravy:
  • 4 tbsp salted butter
  • ¾ cup minced onion
  • 1 tsp kosher salt divided use
  • 4 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp fresh rosemary coarsely chopped
  • 1 tbsp whole peppercorns
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream

Instructions

  • Pat roast beef dry with paper towels. Rub all over with oil, salt and pepper.
  • Transfer beef to air fryer and air fry at 360ºF for about 40 mins, flipping halfway through, until it reaches 145ºF for medium-rare. 
  • If it’s getting too dark in the last 10 minutes, use oven mitts to wrap up the roast with foil to finish cooking.

Notes

  • I use Outside Round Oven Beef Roast, also known as bottom round roast or rump roast. 
    • See Best Cuts of Beef for Air Fryer Roast Beef for other good choices. 
  • Have beef at room temperature.
  • Remember to pat the beef dry before cooking it.
  • Watch the temperature closely in the second half of cooking to avoid overcooking it. Peek several times to ensure it isn't getting too dark either. 
  • Rest the beef before slicing it for maximum juiciness.
