Method

Preheat air fryer to 180°C. Tie beef at 2cm intervals with kitchen string to compact. Spray with oil; season, put in fryer. Cook for 40 minutes, turning halfway, for medium or until cooked to your liking. Transfer beef to a tray, cover with foil, rest for 30 minutes.

Meanwhile, put potatoes in a bowl of cold water for 20 minutes. Drain; dry on paper towel-lined oven tray. Put in a bowl with olive oil, oregano and garlic; toss to combine; season. Stack, secure with toothpick or small skewer.

For Potatoes, line air fryer basket with a 50cm piece of foil. Put stacks on foil, fold over excess foil and secure. Cook for 15 minutes at 180°C, open foil, cook for a further 15 minutes or until golden.

To make Sauce, put mushrooms in a small saucepan, cover with boiling water. Set aside for 5 minutes. Reserve liquid, remove mushrooms and finely chop. Return mushrooms to liquid with cream and stock. Cook on medium heat for 3 minutes or until thickened.

For Beans, toss all ingredients in a medium bowl; season. Air-fry for 8 minutes at 180°C until tender.

Thinly slice beef, serve with potatoes, beans and sauce.
