We present $Beppo$SAX observations of the $\gamma $-ray emitting quasars 0836+710, 1510-089 and 2230+114. All the objects have been detected in the PDS up to 100 keV and have extremely flat power-law spectra above 2 keV ($\alpha _x$=0.3--0.5). 0836+710 shows absorption higher than the galactic value and marginal evidence for the presence of the redshifted 6.4 keV Iron line. 1510-089 shows a spectral break around 1 keV, with the low energy spectrum steeper ($\alpha_l$=1.6) than the high energy power-law ($\alpha_h$=0.3). The data are discussed in the light of current Inverse Compton models for the high energy emission.
