Easy Beef Oven Roast
- Prep Time: 15 mins
- Cook Time: 2 hours
- Total Time: 2 hours 15 mins
Ingredients
- 1 kg Beef Roast
Instructions
- Season roast. Place in shallow roasting pan. Insert oven-safe meat thermometer into center of roast avoiding fat or bone.
- Oven-Sear by placing uncovered roast in preheated 450°F (230°C) oven for 10 minutes.
- **Reduce heat to 275°F (140°C); cook uncovered to desired doneness, removing from oven when 5°F (3°C) below finished temperature. (Bone-in roast can take 30 to 45 minutes less.)
- Cover with foil and let stand for at least 15 minutes before carving into thin slices.
- Special Notes:
- **Not around to turn it down? Skip Step 2 and roast at a constant 275°F (140°C). This is especially good for less tender cuts and smaller roasts (less than 1 kg/2lb). Allow approximately 15% longer cook time.
- Tips for the perfect roast
- A rack in the pan promotes even cooking.
- Roast without a lid for best browning.
- Use a thermometer to know when your Oven Roast is done the way you like it.
- Let roast stand at least 15 minutes after cooking to let juices settle.
- Carve Oven roasts in thin slices across the grain.

I have a 6 lb inside round. After searing it how long approximately should I cook it at 275?
For a 6 lb Inside Round Oven Roast, it should take an additional 2 ½ to 3 hours. Use our Beef Chart as guidance for timing, but for accuracy, use your meat thermometer to get the doneness you want. THIS TIMING IS FOR MEDIUM RARE – APPROX 145F FINISHED ROAST INTERNAL TEMPERATURE.
