Cooking time for two identical pieces of beef
I am cooking two identical 2 pound pieces of beef. It calls for 25 minutes per pound. Do I figure the cooking time for 2 or for 4 pounds? The cooking time for 2 pounds would be 50 minutes and for 4 pounds it would be 1 hr and 40 minutes.
Best Answer
If they are generally the same shape and size, be sure there is room between them for air to circulate and base your initial cook time on one piece. Of course, time is not a very accurate measure when roasting in an oven. So, your best bet is to use a thermometer to achieve your desired level of doneness.

How do you cook two roast beefs at the same time?
Season the roasts lightly with salt and pepper. Place the larger roast in your roasting pan, bone side down and fat side up. Place the roast in the oven, and make note of the time. When the difference in cooking time has elapsed, place the second roast in the pan alongside the first.Can I cook 2 roasts in the same oven?
Chances are one roast will be smaller than the other, so approximate the cooking time based on its weight and start testing it for doneness when the kitchen thermometer rings. Whereas you can always let the bigger roast cook for another 10-15 minutes, you can't fix the smaller roast if it overcooks.How do you calculate cooking time for beef?
Weigh the joint in order to calculate the cooking time. If you like rare beef cook the joint for 20 minutes per 450g plus 20 minutes, for a medium result cook the meat for 25 minutes per 450g plus 25 minutes and for a well done joint cook it for 30 minutes per 450g plus 30 minutes.How long do you cook a joint of beef?
