To cook a 1.1 kg roast, the general guideline is to cook it at 180°C (350°F) for about 20 minutes per 500g, plus an additional 20-30 minutes. This would roughly equate to 1 hour and 40 minutes to 1 hour and 50 minutes. Always ensure that the internal temperature reaches 62°C (145°F) for medium rare, and adjust your cooking time if you prefer your roast more or less done.
