Ingredients

Main ingredients

2 to 3 pound beef roast (top round or sirloin) Choose cuts that are leaner for heart-health benefits.
1 tablespoon olive oil Provides moisture and aids in browning.
2 cloves garlic, minced Adds flavorful depth.
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped Enhances aroma and taste.
1 teaspoon salt Essential for overall flavor.
1/2 teaspoon black pepper Adds warmth and spice.
1/2 teaspoon onion powder Delivers a subtle sweetness.
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional) Introduces a smoky twist and deeper color.

Method

Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
In a small bowl, combine minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika to mix the seasoning blend.
Rub the roast all over with olive oil, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
Generously coat your beef roast with the herb and spice mixture, pressing it into the surface.

Cooking

Place the seasoned roast in the air fryer basket and cook at 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for about 15 minutes.
After the initial 15 minutes, reduce the air fryer temperature to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) and continue cooking for another 15 to 17 minutes. Aim for an internal temperature of 130 degrees F (54 degrees C) for medium-rare.
Once done, remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

For a different flavor, consider substituting rosemary with thyme or using a mix of your favorite herbs. Serve slices against the grain for tenderness. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Can be frozen for later use.
