This joint of beef is cooked slow in all of the beef juices so that it is lovely and tender and if you do this in an Air-fryer it is going to be even better.

History of Roast Beef
This dish has its roots in medieval times, where it was often prepared for special occasions and feasts, showcasing the importance of beef in the diet of the nobility.

By the 18th century, roast beef had become a staple of British cuisine, symbolizing national pride and identity, especially during the era of the Industrial Revolution when it was commonly served on Sundays as a family meal.

The phrase "roast beef of Old England" emerged during this period, further solidifying its status as a national dish.

The cooking method itself evolved, with various techniques being employed, from spit-roasting over an open flame to the more modern use of ovens.

Today, roast beef is not only a beloved dish in Britain but has also found its way into various cuisines around the world, often served with accompaniments such as Yorkshire pudding, gravy, and an array of vegetables.

Cooking Instructions

  1. It is important to get the joint to room temperature, you can do this by leaving the joint out for a few hours before cooking. Or you can rest the joint in some warm water for 20 minutes, if you do this you will have to make sure it is fully dry before you seal it.
  2. Get a griddle or frying pan on the stove, add about 50 ml of Olive Oil and season this with Salt. Or you can rub the Salt and dry sage into the beef directly.
  3. When the pan is hot place the beef in the centre and allow to cook (Seal) for a few minutes turning the joint so that it is sealed on all sides. This should take 10 minutes or so.
  4. Heat the oven to 180 c.
  5. Add the carrots and onions to a baking tray.
