Early escalators had stairs made of wood â which happens to burn, unfortunately. One of the most notorious escalator accidents in history occurred on November 18th, 1987, when a fire fanned by drafts in Londonâs Underground subway network killed 31 people.
Preheat your oven to 475 degrees F. Move your bottom round to a roasting pan, and place a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the beef. Step 3. Roast your bottom round at 475 degrees F for 30 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to 350 degrees F and continue roasting. Monitor the meat thermometer for your desired cooking level. Anything below an internal temperature of 130 degrees F is rare. Do not roast to an internal temperature of more than 140 degrees F or your roast will be medium, not medium rare.
Drizzle the beef with olive oil and season well with salt and pepper, rubbing it all over the meat. Place the beef on top of the vegetables. To cook your beef: Place the roasting tray in the preheated oven. Turn the heat down immediately to 200Â°C/400Â°F/gas 6 and cook for 1 hour for medium beef. If you prefer it medium-rare, take it out 5 to 10 minutes earlier. For well done, leave it in for another 10 to 15 minutes.
