Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Line the inside of the air fryer with aluminum foil or remove the grill plate and preheat it to 390 degrees F. 
  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and Worcestershire sauce. In a second small bowl, combine the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, and pepper.
  • Rub the roast with the olive oil-Worcestershire sauce mixture, then rub the herb mixture over the entire roast.
  • Place the roast in the air fryer and air fry it for 15 minutes, then carefully flip the roast. Air fry at 320 degrees F for another 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the roast. 
  • Allow it to rest for 10 minutes, then slice and serve!

Notes

  • Use foil or remove the grill plate from the air fryer so the roast will sit in its juices it releases while it cooks.
  • Always preheat the air fryer so the roast starts cooking at the right temperature as soon as it goes in the air fryer basket.
  • Flip the roast halfway through so it cooks evenly on all sides. I also lower the temperature when I do this to prevent the exterior from overcooking.
  • Check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer.
  • To make a gravy from the drippings, whisk them with flour or cornstarch and broth.
  • Always let the meat rest for 10–20 minutes before slicing so the juices don’t run out.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the air fryer preheated at 350 degrees F for 5 to 7 minutes.
