Frequently Asked Questions
How long do you cook roast beef per pound?
At 325°F, plan for approximately 14-16 minutes per pound for medium-rare. Prime rib and tenderloin cook faster at 12-14 minutes per pound. Always use a meat thermometer.
What is carryover cooking?
Carryover cooking means the internal temperature continues to rise 5-10°F after removing the roast from the oven. Remove the roast 5°F below your target temperature and let it rest.
