Let the beef come to room temperature before you put it in the oven. Stand the roast in a pan, and season it generously with salt and pepper to taste. Start the beef in a hot oven at 425 F for the first 30 minutes, then lower the temperature to 375 F for the remaining time. Cook it to your preferred temperature using the following time recommendations: Rare: 11 minutes per pound
Medium: 14 minutes per pound
Well: 16 minutes per pound
You can test the temperature with a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the beef. For safety, USDA guidelines recommend cooking roasts to a minimum of 145 F, with at least a three-minute rest after you pull it from the oven. Keep in mind that the temperature will increase another 5 to 10 degrees as it rests, however, so you can pull it slightly below your target temperature.
