If frozen then a 4 lb. beef roast will cook faster. Put the oven up to 400 (lid on roaster) for 20 - 30 minutes and sear, then put the temperature down to 350 and cook 15 minutes per pound. If the 4 lb. beef roast is thawed then sear as above and cook for 20 minutes per pound.

Roasting times for 'bone in' meat

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 3 to 5lb Joint 1½ to 2 hours Pork and Ham should be roasted for the full times given above, Beef and Lamb can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.

How do you cook a top round roast in a pressure cooker?

Cooking in a pressure cooker cuts your cooking time down to about a third. In other words, if you would normally cook a roast for 3 hours it's only going to take 1 but keep in mind that were talking really high temperatures here. The pressure at which you cook the meat at will also cause the time to vary, as will as the fact that top round roasts have very little fat content, quite the opposite of a chuck roast. I usually cook a 3 lb top round roast for about an hour. The process is basically the same as what you would normally cook a top round roast at except for a few added steps. Heat up your pressure cooker and add about 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Cut your roast into four equal parts, salt and pepper each piece and then brown on all sides. Remove meat from cooker and add about 1 cup beef broth along with 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing. If your presser cooker has a lift pan to keep the meat off of the bottom of the pan while cooking, insert it at this time and cover. Cook for about 1 hour. If you would like to include potatoes and carrots with this meal, have your potatoes and carrots cut, seasoned and ready to go once the roast is done cooking. When the roast is done cooking, take the entire cooker (lid still on!) over to the sink and run cold water over it. This will very quickly bring the internal pressure down to normal allowing you to open the cooker and add your vegetables (unless your roast is completely falling apart, leave the roast in the cooker and add vegetables on top, other wise remove the meat and keep covered and warm). Return cooker to the stove top, replace lid and bring the pressure back up. Once the pressure is where you want it cook for an additional 20 minutes.


How long does one cook a 5 pound chuck roast in a crock pot with carrots and celery?

First, brown the roast on all sides in a skillet set on medium heat with just enough oil to cover the bottom... 2 to 3 minutes per side should do... Place roast, veggies, and seasonings in crock pot... Layer veggies first (potatoes, carrots, then celery), set the roast on top. Add just enough liquid to cover the roast, set to high, then cook 9-10 hours... Best to let it cook overnight, then set to low to keep until lunch, or start in early morning for dinner.


What is the cooking times for top round roast beef?

I would cook it at 350 for 30 minutes covered. Then, uncover and cook until desired done-ness. I like medium rare which is generally achieved in an additional 15-30 minutes. For more tender meat you can cook at a lower temperature for a longer time.


Can you cook a top sirloin roast in a pressure cooker?

Absolutely and it's delicious. Timing depends on the size/type of pressure cooker you have, whether you cook it with vegetables, etc. Check the booklet that came with your cooker and time accordingly for any cut of beef roast, then adjust for weight and any "extras".


Can you use London broil top round roast when recipe calls for chuck-eye roast?

Top Round is a much better cut and very lean. Its delicious broiled to medium rare & sliced across the grain...a traditional "London Broil". On the other hand, recipes for long & slow cooking usually love the chuck. You could substitute and it would be delicious, rather like using a cup of cream when regular old milk would do.

How do you cook top round?

You should prepare a top of the round roast by removing it from the refrigerator one hour before cooking. Pat the roast dry with kitchen paper, massage some cooking oil all over and season it with garlic salt, salt and pepper. Cook at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or 160 degrees Celsius for about 2 and a half hours.
