Ingredients
  

Gravy

  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup milk

Instructions
 

  • In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil and Worcestershire sauce. Add in garlic, salt, onion powder, Italian seasoning and black pepper.
    1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 1 tbsp garlic, 1.5 tsp salt, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp Italian seasoning, 1 tsp black pepper
  • Rub the seasoning paste over the entire roast. Place the roast in the air fryer basket.
    2 lb beef roast
  • Air fry at 375º for 8 minutes to sear the roast. Turn the roast over and add thyme sprigs to top of roast. 
    2 sprigs fresh thyme
  • Continue cooking at 250º for another 30 min. Using an instant read meat thermometer, check the internal temperature of the meat to be sure it’s 120-30º for medium rare. The edges will be closer to 130º - while the center is 120º. 
  • Remove the roast from the air fryer and tent with foil. Allow to rest for 10-20 minutes. This allows the juices to absorb back into the roast. Slice and serve with your favorite sides. 
  • While the roast rests, remove the tray from the air fryer. You can use the drippings that collect in the bottom of the air fryer to make gravy. Just get the liquid and not the bites of garlic as those will be bitter. Pour into a small saucepan. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of flour and 1 cup of water and 1 cup of milk or cream and bring to a simmer. Whisk frequently until thickened - about 3-5 minutes. 
    2 tbsp flour, 1 cup water, 1 cup milk
  • Slice roast against the grain and serve in thin slices with gravy and your favorite side dishes.
