Spray air fryer tray with cooking spray and place the prime rib on the tray. Air fry at 400°F for 8 minutes to lock in the juices and sear the roast. Lower the temperature to 300°F. Cook the roast for 70 minutes, checking every 20 minutes using a meat thermometer. Pull the roast from the air fryer when it is 5 degrees below your desired degree of doneness for best results. For medium-rare, it should reach around 130°F when a meat thermometer is inserted in the thickest part of the beef. When ready, remove the roast from the air fryer and cover with foil. Let it rest for 15 minutes before slicing.
After resting, slice with your best carving knife, serve, and enjoy!
- Let your roast come to room temperature before cooking it; this will ensure it cooks evenly throughout.
- Pull the roast from the air fryer at 5 degrees below your desired degree of doneness and let it rest for 15 minutes to finish cooking and lock in the juices before slicing. Always use a meat thermometer and refer to my beef cooking chart.
