How long do you cook a 4 pound beef roast in a roaster?

[Edit]

Answer

If frozen then a 4 lb. beef roast will cook faster. Put the oven up to 400 (lid on roaster) for 20 - 30 minutes and sear, then put the temperature down to 350 and cook 15 minutes per pound.

If the 4 lb. beef roast is thawed then sear as above and cook for 20 minutes per pound.
