Notes

- Opt for a well-marbled, boneless roast beef like round roast, chuck roast, or brisket. These cuts are more forgiving and become tender and flavorful when slow-cooked.
- Allow the roast beef to come to room temperature before cooking. This helps it cook more evenly and reduces the risk of overcooking the outer layers.
- If desired, sear the roast in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil before air frying. Searing caramelizes the meat's surface, enhancing its flavor and creating a delicious crust.
- To achieve the perfect level of doneness, use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature. Consult the chart above for doneness levels, and adjust the cooking time to suit your preference.
- After cooking, let the pot roast rest for at least 10-15 minutes under a foil tent. This allows the juices to redistribute, keeping the meat moist and tender.
- If the sauce is too greasy, skim off excess fat using a fat separator or a spoon.
- Feel free to customize the vegetable mix based on your preferences. You can add celery, parsnips, or even mushrooms for additional variety.
- The pan juices make a delicious gravy. Simply strain the liquid, mix it with a bit of flour or cornstarch, and cook until thickened for a flavorful sauce.
- This dish can be prepared ahead of time and reheated. In fact, it often tastes even better the next day as the flavors continue to meld.
- Storage - keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for 4 days.
