Ingredients
- 2-3 pound beef roast top round or sirloin
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, rosemary, salt, pepper, onion powder, and smoked paprika.
- Rub the beef roast with olive oil, then coat it evenly with the herb and spice mixture.
- Place the roast in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 15 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 360°F (180°C) and continue cooking for another 15-17 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 130°F (54°C) for medium-rare (adjust cook time for desired doneness). Mine was done at 16 minutes.
- Remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes
- Temper the Roast: Pull the beef out of the fridge about 30 minutes before air frying, so it cooks evenly.
- Size Matters: If your roast is larger than 2 pounds, increase the cooking time in small increments and keep a meat thermometer handy.
- Experiment with Seasonings: Thyme or oregano swap in easily for rosemary, and a splash of Worcestershire sauce gives an extra boost of umami.
