How Long Do You Cook a Roast Beef In The Oven?
Yes, how long to cook roast beef in the oven primarily depends on the size of the beef. The basic rule of thumb is that it takes at least 20 minutes per pound. First, start at a high temperature to caramelize the outside. Then further proceed to cook at a lower temperature for meat to get perfectly cooked from inside and retain its juicy taste and juicy.
What Temperature to Cook Beef Roast?
It depends on the cut of meat that you are using. First, place the uncovered meat in the preheated oven at 450°F (230°C) for at least 10 minutes. This caramelizes the meat from outside and the roast beef looks very delicious. Then reduce the heat to 275°F (140°C). Let the meat get cooked evenly. This retains the flavor and juice.
Finally check the meat's internal temperature, it should show 130°F (5°F below the temperature). After removing from the oven, the temperature will rise a little, as it sets.
