The oven temperature for roasting beef varies depending on the initial searing phase and the overall cooking time. Initially, roast beef should be cooked at a high temperature, then lowered for the remainder of the cooking process.
Here’s a breakdown based on information from BBC Good Food:
- Initial High-Heat Searing: 240°C (220°C fan/gas mark 9) for the first 20 minutes.
- Lowered Temperature for Remainder of Cooking: 190°C (170°C fan/gas mark 5).
This method ensures a nicely browned exterior and a juicy interior. The overall cooking time, after the initial searing, depends on the desired level of doneness.
