Ingredients

  • ½ cup orange juice
  • 3 Tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 Tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 3-4 pound beef chuck roast thawed
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • Combine orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce.
  • Stir until sugar is dissolved.
  • Pour over roast and marinade for 8-24 hours.
  • Place roast in air fryer basket.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over top.
  • Air fry for 30 minutes at 400º Fahrenheit, flipping roast halfway through.
  • Allow to rest for at least three minutes.
  • Slice into thick cuts and serve.

Notes

  1. Marinating Time: For optimal flavor, marinate the beef chuck roast in the orange juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Worcestershire sauce mixture for at least 8 hours, or preferably up to 24 hours. Marinating allows the flavors to penetrate the meat, resulting in a more flavorful and tender pot roast. Ensure the roast is fully coated in the marinade and refrigerate it while marinating to prevent spoilage.
  2. Even Seasoning: Before air frying, sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the roast to enhance its flavor. Ensure both sides of the roast are seasoned adequately for balanced seasoning throughout. Even seasoning contributes to a well-seasoned and delicious pot roast.
  3. Flipping for Even Cooking: To ensure even cooking and browning, flip the roast halfway through the air frying process. This helps to promote uniform cooking and caramelization on both sides of the roast. Use tongs to carefully flip the roast, taking care not to pierce the meat to retain its juices. By flipping the roast, you'll achieve a beautifully browned exterior and juicy, tender interior.
