Notes
Tips and Recommendations for Air Frying Roasts
Use a tender cut of meat for this air fryer recipe. I recommend a tenderloin, top loing, or ribeye.
Line your air fryer basket with foil to catch drippings and minimize clean up.
Spray the fryer basket with cooking spray to ease the clean up of the basket.
Preheat your air fryer on 390 for 15 minutes before putting the roast in.
Air fry the roast at 390 for 15 minutes, then turn the heat down to 360 for the remainder of cook time. This is the "searing" process that will seal the juices.
Roast the beef for 20 minutes per pound (for rare) or 25 minutes per pound (for medium-rare), checking the temperature of the meat periodically.
Be sure you allow the roast to rest at least 10 to 15 minutes before slicing.
