Beef recipes are a standout favourite, delivering tender, juicy results with a crispy finish – all in a fraction of the time. Whether you’re after a fuss-free midweek dinner or something a little more indulgent, the air fryer takes the hard work out of cooking while locking in incredible flavour.
In this blog, I’ll be sharing some of the best air fryer beef recipes, answering your most common questions about cooking beef in the air fryer, and serving up four of my favourites: Air Fryer Crispy Beijing Beef, Air Fryer Chilli Beef Enchiladas, Air Fryer Roast Beef Sandwiches, and Air Fryer Beef Wellington.
Can You Cook Beef in an Air Fryer?
Absolutely! The air fryer is perfect for cooking beef – whether it’s steaks, mince, or even a full roast. The hot air circulation cooks the meat evenly and creates a crispy exterior without needing much oil. You can cook everything from burgers to roasts in an air fryer, making it a versatile addition to your kitchen.
How Long Does Beef Take in the Air Fryer?
The cooking time depends on the cut of beef and how you like it cooked. Here’s a general guide:
- Steaks: 8-12 minutes (depending on thickness and how well done you like them)
- Burgers: 10-12 minutes
- Meatballs: 12-15 minutes
- Roast beef: 30-40 minutes (depending on size and preferred doneness)
Always preheat your air fryer and check the internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure your beef is cooked to your liking.
Is Air Fryer Beef Healthy?
Air fryers are a great way to make healthier versions of your favourite meals. They use far less oil than traditional frying, cutting down on fat while still giving you that crispy texture. Beef is packed with protein and iron, making it a great choice for a balanced diet – especially when cooked with minimal oil.
