How Long to Air Fry Beef Roast (2 lb)

Air fry beef roast (2 lb) at 360°F (180°C) for 35-50 minutes. Exact settings, when to shake, and how to tell when it is done.

360°F for 35 to 50 minutes, shake at 20.

1. 1

   Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 3 minutes.

2. 2

   Arrange the beef roast (2 lb) in a single layer with space between pieces. Crowding traps steam and stops browning.

3. 3

   Air fry for 35 to 50 minutes, shaking or flipping at the 20-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.
