Servings: 6

Ingredients

  • Beef roast (2-3 pounds)
  • Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
  • Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Onion powder (1 teaspoon)
  • Paprika (1 teaspoon)
  • Salt (1 teaspoon)
  • Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
  • Beef broth (for sauce) (1 cup)
  • Worcestershire sauce (for sauce) (2 tablespoons)
  • Cornstarch (for sauce) (1 tablespoon)
  • Water (for sauce) (1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Rub the beef roast generously with olive oil, then coat it with the spice mixture, ensuring all sides are well-seasoned.
  4. Place the seasoned beef roast in the air fryer basket.
  5. Cook the roast for 20 minutes, then flip it over and cook for an additional 15-20 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for your desired level of doneness: 135°F for medium-rare, 145°F for medium, and 160°F for well-done.
  6. Once cooked to your preference, remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
  7. While the roast is resting, prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan, combine beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
  8. In a separate small bowl, mix cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Slowly add this mixture to the simmering broth, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  9. Slice the roast beef and serve hot, drizzled with the sauce.
