Roasting times

Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 5 to 7 lb Joint 2 to 2½ hours Pork and Ham should be roasted for the full times given above, Beef and Lamb can be taken out sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.

The outside round roast is a "less tender" cut but can make a very nice roast either in the oven or crock pot. It is fairly lean so I would not recommend over cooking.

I have done them in the oven, in a roasting pan, with some water in the bottom surrounded by coursely chopped onion. I have a 8 pound outside round in the oven right now. Its in a roasting pan, with water, course chopped onions and I rubbed deli (dijon) mustard, black pepper and onion soup mix into the top (fatty) side. yummm.

Depending on your preference you can either cook them low and slow ie. 275* until desired doneness. My friend just did one and it turned out great. Or start off at high heat like 500* for about 30 minutes then knock the temperature down for the remainder of your cooking time.

Americans call this cut "bottom round" so you can look up some recipes under that title too.
