Air Fryer Roast Beef Sandwiches & Peppered Sauce

Introducing the ultimate solution for busy days when you crave a comfort meal without the fuss: Air Fryer Roast Beef Sandwiches & Peppered Sauce.

Can I cook the roast beef entirely in the air fryer?

Yes, the air fryer is perfect for roasting beef quickly and evenly, giving you a delicious crispy exterior while keeping the inside tender. Just make sure to choose the right cut and adjust cooking times based on weight.

What cut of beef is best for air fryer roast beef sandwiches?

Topside, sirloin, or rump are excellent choices for roast beef in the air fryer. They cook well and slice nicely for sandwiches. Choose leaner cuts for a healthier option.

How do I make the perfect peppered sauce for roast beef sandwiches?

The peppered sauce is usually made with cracked black pepper, cream, and beef stock or gravy. It adds a lovely kick and richness to your sandwiches. For a lighter version, you can substitute cream with Greek yoghurt or a dairy-free alternative.

Can I use leftover roast beef for this recipe?

Absolutely. Leftover roast beef from your Sunday dinner is perfect for making these sandwiches. Simply warm it up in the air fryer or skillet, then add your peppered sauce and toppings.

How long does it take to make roast beef in the air fryer?

Cooking times vary depending on the size of your beef joint. As a guide, cook for approximately 15-20 minutes per 500g for medium rare at 200°C, but always check with a meat thermometer for best results.

What’s the best bread to use for roast beef sandwiches?

Soft rolls, ciabatta, or crusty baguettes work wonderfully for roast beef sandwiches. Choose bread that can hold the sauce and fillings without becoming soggy.
