How long does to take to cook roast beef?

Answer 1

Roasting times for beef

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 to prevent drying the outer layer.

3 to 5lb Joint 1½ to 2 hours

5 to 7 lb Joint 2 to 2½ hours

7 to 10lb Joint 2½ to 3 hours

The beef 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 vegetables. The vegetables also help to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.

Cooking at a constant oven temperature of 300°F (160°C), a 5- to 8-lb standing rib roast will take 17-19 minutes per pound for rare, 20-22 for medium rare, 23-25 minutes for medium, and 27-30 minutes for well done. A sirloin roast of 8- to 12-lbs will take 16-20 minutes for rare, 20-22 for medium rare, 23-25 for medium, and 26-30 for well done. A boneless top round, by contrast, will take 28-30 minutes for rare, 30-33 for medium rare, 34-38 for medium, and 40-45 for well done.

If you roast at 325°F (160°C), subtract 2 minutes or so per pound. If the roast is refrigerated just before going into the oven, add 2 or 3 minutes per pound. We won't even attempt to suggest times for the initial-hot-oven cooking method.

Old fashioned method: Preheat oven to 350 F degrees; one half hour per pound.

You cook a roast normally by the meat's internal temp., not by time. In a beef roast, the internal temp needs to be about 145 for rare, 150 for medium, and 160 for well done. And in pork roasts, it needs to be at least 160 degrees F. for medium, and 170 degrees for well done. I usually cook my roasts in an oven that is set to 325 degrees F. (Source, USDA)
