Ingredients

Main Ingredients

3 pounds beef roast The star of this recipe, providing rich flavor and protein.
2 tablespoons olive oil Helps to keep the roast moist while adding flavor.
4 cloves garlic Adds aromatic depth to the dish.
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary Provides a fragrant, herbal note to the roast.
1 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors in the dish.
1 teaspoon black pepper Adds a hint of spice and balance.
1 teaspoon onion powder Contributes a savory undertone.
1 teaspoon smoked paprika Offers a subtle smoky flavor (optional).

Method

Preparation

Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the herb and spice mixture.

Cooking

Place the roast in the air fryer basket, cooking at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, reduce the temperature to 360°F (180°C) and continue cooking for another 15 to 17 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare.
Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Let the roast come to room temperature before cooking for more even cooking. Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfect doneness, and allow it to rest before slicing to redistribute the juices.
