When it comes to cooking a delicious roast beef, the key is to get the cooking time just right. Here is a handy chart to help you determine the perfect cook time based on the weight of your roast:
Remember to always use a meat thermometer to ensure your roast beef reaches the desired internal temperature before removing it from the oven.
2. Slow Cooking
If you prefer to cook your roast beef in a slow cooker, here is a general guideline for cook time:
Weight | Cook Time |
---|---|
2-3 lbs | 4-6 hours on high or 8-10 hours on low |
4-5 lbs | 6-8 hours on high or 10-12 hours on low |
6-7 lbs | 8-10 hours on high or 12-14 hours on low |
For best results, sear the roast beef in a hot skillet before placing it in the slow cooker to lock in flavor and juices.
