How many minutes per pound for roast beef?

Answer 1

If it's roast beef and you want it medium rare in the middle and cooked on the ends then put the oven up to 400 degrees for 20 - 30 minutes and then put it down to 330 - 350 (basting every 15 minutes in it's own juices. It would 15 - 20 minutes per pound. Frozen beef roasts cook faster so cook 12 - 15 minutes per pound. You can use a thermometer to test it or, cut into the middle of the roast a little to see if it's the way you want it. DO NOT RUB SALT ON YOUR ROAST as it toughens the meat. BBQ sauces go on near the end with lid off (to glaze it) and herbs with flour can go on the roast immediately. If you want to marinade the roast beef you can do it the night before and refrigerate or do it first thing in the morning.

Answer 2

It depends on the cut of beef you are using, because that affects the temperature you cook it at. If you are cooking a tougher cut of meat like a pot roast, you need to cook the meat at a low temperature for longer period of time, to allow the connective tissue to break down and the meat to soften. For other cuts of beef, such as a standing rib roast or a prime rib roast, there are a number of different approaches, but basically you can cook the meat faster at a higher temperature. One method involves starting the roast at the highest temperature, 450 or 500 degrees, for half an hour and then reducing the temperature. Another method is Paula Deen's rib roast recipe below link:

How long you cook the beef also depends on the doneness you want, if you want it medium rare, for example, you are aiming for a temperature of 140 to 145 degrees.

Answer 3

After searing the roast in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 mins. I cook it for 25 to 27 mins. per pound. I then let it sit under foil paper for 20 to 30 mins. and carve.

I hope this helps, Patty

Answer 4

For medium-rare, about 15 minutes per pound at 325ºF, but this is a somewhat hit-or-miss method, since ovens vary.

The best method is to use a meat thermometer and cook to the desired temperature. The thermometer (available at the dollar store) should be inserted to the center of the roast and not near the bone.

Rare - 140ºF

Medium - 160ºF

Well - 170ºF or above
