Instructions
Take the beef out of the fridge for 20 minutes before cooking. Drizzle with olive oil and season well with salt, pepper and mixed herbs.
3 lbs (1.3 Kg) beef joint, 2 tbsp olive oil, Salt and pepper, 1 tsp mixed herbs
Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C). Place the beef joint in the air fryer basket and cook for 10 minutes at 350°F (180°C).
Meanwhile, drizzle your vegetables with olive oil, season well and sprinkle with the beef stock cube.
8 small potatoes, 4 carrots, 1 banana shallot, 2 tbsp olive oil, Salt and pepper, 1 beef stock cube
Pour the wine, Worcestershire and soy sauce in a deep container (such as an 8 inch cake tin). Add the redcurrant jelly, brown sugar and bay leaves. Stir to dissolve the jelly, then add the seasoned vegetables.
1 tsp mixed herbs, ½ cup (120ml) red wine, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce, 2 tsp redcurrant jelly, 1 tsp brown sugar, 2 bay leaves
Place the beef joint on top of the vegetables then place the cake pan in the air fryer basket. Cook for 20 minutes then start checking with a meat thermometer that it has cooked to your liking. I took my beef out once it reached 150°F (65°C).
Cover the beef loosely with foil and leave it to rest. Continue to cook the vegetables for a further 20 minutes, topping up with a little water if pan is looking dry. Cook until the potatoes are tender. Strain the pot roast juices to a gravy boat.
Slice the beef. Arrange the vegetables and beef on a platter. Serve with a generous drizzle of the gravy. Delicious!
Use the table below as a guide to cook it to your liking, adding five minutes of cooking time until your preferred temperature is reached. Rare or medium rare is preferable for top round (topside) cut.
