- 1 tsp unsalted butter
Method
Instructions are for a two-drawer air fryer.
How to make the Beef Roast Dinner:
- Pierce the Quorn Beef Roast and place in one of your air fryer drawers and cook at 180°C for about 45 minutes until piping hot throughout. Turn the roast every so often so it cooks evenly.
- Peel your carrots and parsnips and cut into sticks around 2cm thick and 5cm long. Place in a large bowl and coat with 1 tsp of oil and season with salt and pepper.
- Place the carrots and parsnips in your second air fryer drawer and cook at 190°C for around 20 minutes, giving the drawer a shake halfway through to ensure the veggies cook evenly. Cook until browned and cover and put to one side to keep warm.
- Meanwhile make your gravy: peel and cut your onion in half then slice thinly. Put a saucepan on a medium heat and add your butter and 1 tsp of oil then add the sliced onions. Cook gently for around 5-10 minutes until the onions have softened and started to caramelise.
- Add your port (optional) and reduce by half to cook off the alcohol, this should take around 5 minutes. Add the flour and stir, cooking out the flour for a minute or so. Add the vegetable stock, bay leaf, redcurrant jelly and marmite and bring to the boil.
- Reduce the heat and allow to simmer for 5-10 minutes whilst the Quorn Beef Roast is cooking and until the gravy has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
How to make the Ultimate Air Fryer Roast Potatoes:
- Peel your potatoes and cut into quarters or thirds depending on their size. Rinse the excess starch off the potatoes then place in a bowl and toss with 1 tsp of oil, salt and pepper and your semolina ensuring all the potatoes are coated in the semolina.
- Place in your air fryer (once the carrots and parsnips have cooked) and cook for an initial 20 minutes at 160°C, giving them a shake halfway. Then turn the temperature up to 200°C and cook for a further 20 minutes giving the drawer a shake halfway through to ensure the potatoes cook evenly. The potatoes should be golden and crispy!
Finishing the Beef Roast Dinner:
- Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook your broccoli and green beans for a couple of minutes until tender with a slight bite.
- Serve your Quorn Beef Roast with the crispy roast potatoes, roast carrots and parsnips and green veggies and pour over the red onion gravy.
Chefs tip
