Ingredients

  • 1 kg beef roasting joint
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  • Take the beef join out of the fridge and bring it to room temperature (around 20-30 minutes before cooking).
  • Rub the beef all over with the olive oil. Combine the salt, pepper, garlic powder and herbs in a small bowl and then rub the mixture all over the beef.
  • Give your joint an initial hot blast by cooking on air fry at 220C (420F) for five minutes.
  • Reduce the temperature to 170C (335F), then cook for a further 30 minutes (for medium-rare beef) or 40 minutes for medium-well-done beef.
  • Carefully remove the beef to a board, cover loosely with kitchen foil and leave to rest for around 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

Internal temperature for the desired level of doneness:
Rare: 52C (125F)
Medium-rare: 57C (135F)
Medium: 63C (145F)
Medium-well done: 66C (150F)
