This Air Fryer Roast Beef recipe offers a quick and flavorful way to prepare a classic eye of round roast with a savory blend of seasonings. Utilizing the air fryer gives the beef a beautifully seared crust while keeping the inside juicy and tender, perfect for an easy yet impressive meal.

Ingredients

Scale

Beef

  • 2–3 lb eye of round roast

Seasoning & Oil

  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning (or your favorite steak seasoning blend)
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika (regular or smoked)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat the roast dry thoroughly with paper towels to remove any moisture. Rub the entire surface with a little oil; this helps the seasoning adhere better and promotes a good sear.
  2. Season the Roast: In a small bowl, combine the garlic salt, black pepper, Montreal steak seasoning, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mix all over the roast, pressing firmly so it clings to the meat evenly.
  3. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 to 5 minutes to ensure it’s hot and ready for cooking.
  4. Sear the Roast: Place the seasoned roast in the air fryer basket and cook at 375°F for 15 minutes. This step sears the exterior, developing a flavorful crust.
  5. Lower the Temperature and Continue Cooking: Reduce the air fryer temperature to 325°F (163°C) and continue cooking the roast for an additional 20 to 25 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check doneness—125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare, and 145°F for medium.
  6. Rest the Meat: Carefully remove the roast from the air fryer and tent it loosely with aluminum foil. Let it rest for 10 to 15 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.
  7. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast thinly against the grain for maximum tenderness. Serve immediately and enjoy your flavorful air fryer roast beef.

Notes

  • Resting the roast is crucial to maintain juiciness and tenderness.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the exact size and thickness of your roast.
  • You can use smoked paprika for a subtle smoky flavor.
  • Use a meat thermometer for best results to avoid overcooking.
  • The Montreal steak seasoning can be substituted with your favorite steak or beef seasoning blend.
