How Long To Cook Chuck Roast In Oven At 400
To cook a 3-4 pound chuck roast in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, season it with salt and pepper and sear it in a hot skillet before transferring it to a roasting pan. Roast the chuck roast for approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes for a 3-pound roast, or 1 hour and 40 minutes for a 4-pound roast, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving.
