Ingredients

For the Beef
  • 3 lbs (1.3 Kg) beef joint I used top round roast (topside)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
For the vegetables
  • 8 small potatoes , halved
  • 4 carrots , cubed
  • 1 banana shallot , sliced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • salt and pepper
  • 1 beef stock cube , crumbled
  • 1 tsp mixed herbs
  • ½ cup (120ml) red wine or water
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce 
  • 2 tsp redcurrant jelly or cranberry sauce
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 2 bay leaves

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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).
  3. Meanwhile, drizzle your vegetables with olive oil, season well and sprinkle with the beef stock cube.
  4. 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.
  5. 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).
  6. 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.
  7. Slice the beef. Arrange the vegetables and beef on a platter. Serve with a generous drizzle of the gravy. Delicious!
