✅ Ingredients

• 1.2–1.5 kg (2.5–3 lb) beef chuck roast

• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder

2. Sear the Roast

If your air fryer allows searing:

• Add a little olive oil and air fry 5 minutes per side until brown.

(If your air fryer doesn’t sear, brown the beef in a pan on the stovetop.)

4. Add Liquids

Pour the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce around the meat.

5. Slow-Cook Mode

If your air fryer has Slow Cook mode:

• HIGH for 3–4 hours

If it has only Roast mode:
Roast at 150–160°C (300–315°F) for 2.5–3 hours, flipping halfway and checking tenderness.
