Air Fryer Chuck Roast

by

Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer

  1. Preheat: Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) for about 5 minutes.

Step 2: Prepare the Chuck Roast

  1. Season the Roast: Rub the chuck roast with olive oil, then season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried thyme, ensuring all sides are coated.

Step 3: Air Fry the Chuck Roast

  1. Place in Air Fryer: If using beef broth, pour it into the bottom of the air fryer basket (this is optional but adds moisture). Place the seasoned roast in the basket.
  2. Cook: Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for about 25-30 minutes per pound. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness; the internal temperature should reach at least 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare.

Step 4: Rest and Serve

  1. Rest the Roast: Once cooked, remove the roast from the air fryer and let it rest for at least 10-15 minutes. This allows the juices to redistribute, ensuring a juicy roast.
  2. Slice and Serve: Slice the roast against the grain and serve with your favorite sides. The drippings can be used to make a gravy if desired.

Tips for Success

  • Use a Meat Thermometer: This is the best way to ensure your roast is cooked to your liking. For medium-rare, aim for 145°F; for medium, 160°F; and for well done, 170°F.
  • Let It Rest: Allowing the meat to rest is crucial for juicy slices.
  • Experiment with Seasonings: Feel free to customize the seasonings to suit your taste, adding herbs like rosemary or spices like paprika.

Variations

  • Vegetable Add-ins: Consider adding vegetables like carrots and potatoes to the air fryer during the last 15-20 minutes of cooking for a complete meal.
  • Marinated Roast: Marinate the chuck roast overnight in your favorite marinade for added flavor.
  • BBQ Style: Brush with your favorite BBQ sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for a tangy glaze.

Final Thoughts

Air Fryer Chuck Roast is a delightful and easy way to enjoy a hearty meal without the lengthy cooking times associated with traditional roasting methods. This recipe yields a tender, flavorful roast that’s perfect for family dinners or meal prep throughout the week.
