Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Meat thermometer
  • Kitchen Tongs
  • Carving knife

Ingredients
 

  • 3 pound (1 kg) beef chuck roast
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (8 g) steak seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F(204°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Rinse and pat dry the roast. Coat with olive oil and steak seasoning.
  • Place the roast in the preheated air fryer (fat side down, if applicable) and cook for 15 minutes to sear the meat.
  • Turn the heat down to 325°F(160°C), flip the roast over (fat side up) and continue cooking for 25-35 minutes, until the internal temperature of the meat reaches 135°F (57°C) (medium rare) to 150°F (65°C) (medium well). Remove the roast from the air fryer basket and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

  • When using the meat thermometer to measure the beef, place it into the middle of the meat’s thickest part. This will ensure a correct reading. 
  • Make sure to preheat the air fryer before adding the beef in. If you don’t preheat the air fryer, you won’t be able to sear the beef. 
  • While the beef is resting, the residual heat keeps cooking the meat. It is best to remove the roast when it’s under below the desired temperature by 5°F. 
  • To get the best slices of beef roast, use a sharp knife and cut against the grain. Don’t cut your slices too thick either. 
  • Though you are coating the beef roast with oil, we recommend spraying a bit of cooking oil onto the air fryer basket. Cleaning up will be much easier and there will be less food sticking. 
  • Buy a portion of beef that comfortably fits in your air fryer. Overcrowding the air fryer’s basket will not cook the meat evenly. 

All air fryers have different wattage and may cook at different rates. You may need to adjust the time or temp for the best results.
