Air Fryer Roast Beef
This Air Fryer Eye of Round Roast is the easiest way to turn a budget-friendly cut of beef into a tender, flavorful dinner. The air fryer creates a gorgeous crust on the outside while keeping the inside juicy and perfectly cooked. Seasoned with garlic, onion, paprika, and steak seasoning, it tastes like a steakhouse classic made right at home. Slice it thin and serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, or pile the leftovers into sandwiches the next day.
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2-3 lb eye of round roast
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 teaspoons garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Montreal steak seasoning or your favorite steak seasoning blend
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika regular or smoked
Instructions
- Pat the roast dry with paper towels and rub it all over with a little oil so the seasoning sticks.
- In a small bowl, stir together the garlic salt, black pepper, steak seasoning, onion powder, and paprika. Rub this mixture all over the roast, pressing it in so it really clings.
- Preheat your air fryer to 375°F for about 3–5 minutes.
- Place the roast in the basket and cook at 375°F for 15 minutes to sear the outside.
- Drop the temp to 325°F and keep cooking for another 20–25 minutes, or until the roast hits your perfect doneness: 125°F for rare, 135°F for medium rare. 145°F for medium.
- Carefully remove the roast from the air fryer, tent loosely with foil, and let it rest for 10–15 minutes. This keeps all those juices where they belong.
- Slice thinly against the grain, serve it up, and enjoy!
