How Long to Air Fry Beef Brisket (small)

Air fry beef brisket (small) at 300°F (150°C) for 60-90 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

300°F for 60 to 90 minutes, shake at 45.

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 300°F for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Arrange the beef brisket (small) in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

3. 3

   Air fry for 60 to 90 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 45-minute mark.

4. 4

   Check the thickest piece with a thermometer. It is done at 145°F for whole cuts, 160°F for ground.

Use these settings as a starting point; thickness, quantity, and appliance model affect timing. How to use our cooking guides.
