you'll want to watch them all the way through because somewhere in the middle i'll tell you what you need to do to enter are you ready to learn how to cook an entire meal all at once in your air fryer let's go today i'm gonna cook up a roast beef potatoes onions and carrots right here in my 5.8 kasori airfryer but you can apply these techniques to any protein and vegetable combo that you choose in your airfryer today i chose a tri-tip roast for doing an air fryer roast beef you'll want to do a nicer cut of roast beef look for one with some dark red coloring and some nice marbling throughout the less expensive chuck roast won't turn out as well in your air fryer because it's a tougher type of meat in my airfryer i was able to fit this three pound roast inside with no problem but i probably would want to go a little bit smaller if i could that just gives a little bit more room for your vegetables and honestly a two pound roast really can feed up to six people with no problem the first tip is to temper your meat let the meat sit out on your counter for about 30 minutes it's gonna help it come more to the room temperature and help it cook more evenly remove it from the packaging and pat it dry with paper towels and then just let it sit out on the counter while the meat is tempering let's make life easier by getting your spices and oil all ready today i'm chopping up some fresh rosemary and thyme now you don't have to use fresh herbs you could use dry and just go with any seasoning combination that you love let me know what your favorite seasonings are for your roast beef i love to hear all the different ideas when the meat is all ready and dry just check it and see if there's any excess fat that you want to trim off and then it's time to massage oil into your meat now i prefer to use avocado oil you can do whatever you like and you really do not need much oil here and the whole point of the oil is to help the spices adhere to the meat and it's going to help that exterior get nice and brown next liberally salt your meat it's gonna feel like a lot but don't worry it's not and then i just rub in the rest of my seasonings that i had prepared and on my word it's already smelling amazing and let the meat rest while you preheat your air fryer then when it's ready place your roast right into the air fryer if you have any smaller ends try and tuck them into the meat that's going to help them so they don't overcook and then we're going to air fry this at 400 for just 10 to 12 minutes this is going to brown the exterior of the roast and while that's cooking it's time to prep your sides today i've got almost one and a half pounds of yukon gold potatoes and i'm just gonna dice them up into little cubes you just want it to be fairly uniform in size and since i'm a lazy cook and i don't want to dirty up more dishes i just spread these out right there on my cutting board and spray them with some oil and then toss them with some salt and yes i just use my hands now for extra flavor i love adding some onions this is just a plain old yellow onion and i peeled it and i cut it up into eighths and then i washed up some baby carrots now normally i think that the regular carrots taste better but baby carrots was all i had so i just pat those dried right here in my strainer i'm adding the onions and i'm spraying them both with oils and just mixing them around with my hands i'm all about easy now here we go the roast is looking beautiful after that initial browning stage go ahead and flip the roast and then just drop your potatoes and your onions and carrots right over the top of it and spread it around then i just had to hit it one more time with a little bit of oil pop that back into the air fryer and now we're going to take that temperature down a notch to 360 degrees and cook it for 20 minutes and here it is after those first 10 minutes i wanted to check in on it and you can see that the meat is running at about 107 degrees at this point to get the top a little bit more brown i pulled the roast out stirred up the veggies and then set the roast on top of all of the veggies close it up and let it finish up those 10 minutes at 360. now here we go it's been that full 20 minutes of the meat and the veggies and you can see the meat is now running at 1 35 not quite yet done again lift the meat out stir up all those veggies then rotate your meat and set it back on top of the vegetables and at this point i decided to just go for five more minutes at 360. now is the time where i explained to you how to enter the 200 air fryer bundle giveaway first i need you to go down to the video description and at the very top you'll find a link click on that and that is where you're going to go enter your email this is how i'm going to

fryer yet that's okay let me know that you don't have an air fryer yet let's go back to the roast five minutes is up and i checked the temperature and holy moly it's perfect now if you like your roast cooked a little bit more just cook it in those five minute increments keep checking the temperature to get it to exactly where you want it and then just tent it in foil and we're gonna let it rest for at least 10 minutes now back to the veggies i decided i wanted mine cooked a little bit longer so i stirred them up and i popped them back in at 360 and you could go for another seven to ten minutes it just depends on how tender you like your veggies it's so easy to just adjust the time and temperature to get the food cooked the way you want it and like i said you can do this with any protein or veggie combination just calculate the time it's going to take you to cook your meat and then calculate how much time it's going to take you to cook your veggies find a somewhat common temperature and then cook them up it's always easy to add more time to the veggies while the meat rests at the end with an instant read thermometer and a little planning you can do this anytime now don't forget to watch my next two videos so you're all entered for this giveaway in the meantime i've got more airfryer recipes and tips for you thank you for watching and i'll see you on the next video
