Instructions

Take the beef out of the refrigerator and dry it with a paper towel. Allow it to sit at room temperature for half an hour. Ensure it fits in your air fryer; if it’s too large, cut it in half.
While waiting, heat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes. Combine the spices and herbs, then coat the beef with olive oil. Apply the spice mixture evenly over the meat.
Optionally, place a liner in the air fryer basket and set the beef inside. Cook for 10-15 minutes. This high heat will form a flavorful crust on the outside, locking in the juices similar to searing in a pan before oven roasting.
Take out the air fryer basket and flip the beef over. Lower the temperature to 350°F (180°C) and continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes.
Begin checking the beef’s internal temperature with a thermometer by inserting it into the thickest part. Refer to the recipe notes for guidance on achieving your preferred doneness, adding five-minute intervals if needed. Keep in mind that the temperature will rise slightly as it rests. I usually target medium rare (130-134°F / 55-57°C).
Once cooked to your preference, transfer the beef to a warm serving dish and cover it loosely with foil. Allow it to rest for 20-30 minutes before slicing it against the grain and serving with your chosen accompaniments.

Notes

Consider enhancing the flavor by adding smoked paprika or cayenne to the spice mix.
Allow the beef to rest post-cooking for juicier and tender results.
Rotate the beef halfway through cooking for even browning; customize herb and spice combinations for a unique taste.
