Introduction

While the cook time will vary depending on the cut of meat, size and method of cooking, here is a quick overview:

The cooking time will vary depending on the cut of meat, the size of the roast and also the method of cooking.

The cooking time will vary depending on the cut of meat, the size of the roast and also the method of cooking. The cooking time for a beef roast will vary depending on whether you have a small or large roast, how well-done it is cooked and if you intend to serve it with any other side dishes or vegetables.

For example:

• A 1kg (2 lb) piece of rump steak takes about 12 minutes per 500g (1lb). You can cook this on a medium heat in an oven or under grill (broiler). If you want yours rarer then reduce this down to 10 minutes per 500g (1lb).
• For larger roasts such as leg steaks, sirloin steaks or topside roasts then reduce these times down by 30%.

Start with an oven-safe pan and preheat it in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes.

Start with an oven-safe pan and preheat it in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes. This will allow your pan to get hot before you place your meat in it so that it doesn’t stick when you put it down on top of it later on (which can cause some nasty burns).

There is not much difference between cooking times for beef roasts that weigh 2 lbs. or more, but smaller roasts can be cooked faster because they do not need as much internal heat to reach the desired temperature.

There’s no way to tell exactly how long it will take to cook your roast, but there are some general guidelines that can help you estimate. The first thing to consider is the cut of meat and its thickness. A larger piece of beef cooked at 350 degrees F will take longer than a smaller piece cooked at 325 degrees F–but both will be done after about 45 minutes per pound (approximately 20 minutes per kilogram).

When cooking by roasting in an oven or on top of a grill, factors like whether or not the surface is browned before putting it in the oven or if there are any juices dripping off into hot coals also affect cooking time significantly.

The cook time listed below should be used as a guideline and then adjusted based on your personal preference when serving

When cooking a roast, it’s important to keep in mind that cooking times are approximate and depend on the size of the roast, the temperature of your oven, and what method you choose. If you want to serve rare beef (125 degrees Fahrenheit), then it may take longer than if you were serving medium-rare (135 degrees Fahrenheit).

If your roast is smaller than average or very thick-cut, then it will require less time in the oven than larger cuts of meat that are more evenly distributed throughout their thicknesses.

Conclusion

Depending on the size of your roast and how you like it cooked, the cooking time can vary from 30 minutes to 3 hours. If you’re not sure how long to cook a beef roast, we recommend starting with one of these times as a guideline and then adjusting based on personal preference when serving.
