What is the correct time for a boneless tip roast 3 lbs.?

Question

i'm assuming its 20 min a pound but what temp is best? i am putting it in with cubed potatoes and celery. and water. seasoning obviously. is this a good idea? or any other suggestions?

Answer 1

20 minutes a pound at 375 F, should be about an hour and 10 minutes for rare, add 10 minutes for medium and an additional 10 for well done....BE SURE AND LET THE MEAT REST, THIS IS A CRITICAL STEP......LET A 3 LB ROAST REST OUT OF THE OVEN FOR ABOUT 10-12 MINUTES BEFORE CARVING....Once something is taken out of the oven, there is something called "carry over cooking" : taking a hot item out of the oven and exposing it to room temperature, the meat continues cooking from the outside to the inside.....I'd also recommend you investing in a instant read meat thermometer....even being Cordon Bleu trained, for larger roasts which I pay top dollar for, why take the chance and ruin it when about a 7 dollar invest in a meat thermometer you'll never have to guess about a roast's "doneness" again!!

Enjoy the holiday!!

Answer 2

If you like your roast really tender, cook it at 250 degrees for 5 hours, you can cook it with the veggies too, make sure you cover tightly with foil.

Answer 3

425 for 15-20 minutes; 350 for one hour
