How to Roast Beef in an Air Fryer You might think of roast beef as a fancy, complicated dish to cook, but it’s actually very simple! Air frying is a quick roasting method, so it’s ready in about half the time it would normally take in a regular oven. This stops the meat from drying out, and because the meat sits in a basket rather than in a pan of oil it absorbs less oil, but still retains the moisture making it tender and juicy. This air fryer roast is one of my favorites to serve, especially for a Sunday roast or a holiday dinner.

The cooking times need to be halved due to the shape of this cut. For more details see my recipe: Air fryer beef tenderloin.
