Roast Beef Cooking Time
Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 F (220 C). Drizzle the beef with a little olive oil, then season all over with salt, pepper and thyme. Heat a cast iron skillet over high heat, and sear the beef on all sides until browned, but not burned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Put the vegetables and bay leaves in the bottom of a roasting dish. Drizzle with olive oil and place the roast on top. Place the roast in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, then reduce the heat to 375 F (190 C). Roast for about 13-15 minutes per pound for rare, 17-19 minutes for medium, and 22-25 for cooked through. Check the meat with a thermometer to make sure it is the temperature you want it--145°F for medium rare, 160°F for medium. (
