Things You'll Need:
- Salt and pepper Spices or herbs Vegetable oil Dutch oven Beef broth Instant-read meat thermometer
-
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Season the beef with salt and pepper. You may also use herbs and spices if you choose.
-
Step 2
Heat up a couple teaspoons of vegetable oil in the bottom of a Dutch oven over medium heat. Place the beef roast in the pot and brown it on all sides. Finally, place the roast so it's fat side is up. That way, it will baste itself as it cooks.
-
Step 3
Drain off the drippings from the beef round London. Pour 1/2 cup of beef broth into the Dutch oven. Cover the roast with a tight-fitting lid.
-
Step 4
Braise the beef in the oven. Check it periodically and add more beef broth if necessary so the roast doesn't run dry. Cook the beef roast until it's done to your liking. The length of time it will take to cook the beef round London depends on its size. You can roughly calculate 20 minutes per pound for rare beef; 30 minutes per pound to cook it done.
-
Step 5
Remove the roast from the oven and check it with an instant-read meat thermometer about 30 minutes before it should be cooked. Place the thermometer in the thickest part of the roast to check its temperature. 145 degrees Fahrenheit is medium rare, 160 degrees is medium, and 170 degrees is well done.
-
Step 6
Remove the beef round London from the oven when it's cooked to your liking. Allow it to sit for 15 to 20 minutes before you slice it.
