Easy beef top sirloin cap roast in the air fryer

Top sirloin cap roast is available in various price ranges, and in the lower price range, you may be lucky enough to find one that tastes fantastic and is really tender. But if you want to be completely sure, it’s worth paying a bit more and going for quality.
When I choose a roast at the meat counter, I look for good fat marbling in the meat because it means more flavor, as well as a nice even layer of fat that can be scored and become perfectly crispy and delicious during cooking.
Unlike the very cheap top sirloin cap roasts in discount supermarkets, Wagyu top sirloin cap roast is something special, and so is the price. It’s incredibly tender, and the flavor is unmatched, but unfortunately, the price reflects that too. And I have to admit that I probably wouldn’t put such a piece of meat in an air fryer.
The top sirloin cap roast used in the recipe was purchased at the Danish supermarket Kvickly, and it was around 140 DKK. It was surprisingly tender and very juicy. It went into the air fryer, and the result speaks for itself, as you can see in the pictures.
One of the advantages of cooking it in the air fryer is that it creates very little mess compared to cooking it in the oven. So if you’re in the mood for a top sirloin cap roast and you have an air fryer, you shouldn’t hesitate to give it a try because it works perfectly well!
Ingredient notes
Top Sirloin Cap Roast – Here, it’s a beef sirloin cap roast weighing approximately 1300 grams, bought at Kvickly. Look for good marbling in the meat and an even layer of fat. The cut of meat is also called coulotte roast, rump cap, or picanha.
Olive Oil – The olive oil binds the salt and pepper and provides the roast with a little bit of fat to “fry” in.
Salt & Pepper – I only use salt and pepper in this recipe, which I find is enough in most cases. Of course, you can season it with other spices if you prefer.
How to make air fryer top sirloin cap roast?
It’s quite easy, and for the most part, it’s very similar to how I would cook it in a traditional oven.
I use only salt and pepper, but you’re free to use any spices you like.
Place the prepared top sirloin cap roast on the rack in the air fryer and cook it initially at 180 degrees Celsius (356 degrees Fahrenheit), then reduce the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius (302 degrees Fahrenheit) until the internal temperature reaches 57 degrees Celsius (135 degrees Fahrenheit).
Once the internal temperature is reached, take the roast out and place it on a cutting board where it should rest for about 20 minutes before slicing and serving.
