It depends. How high can you cook it? The higher the temperature the better for tender cuts of meat, which will mean it will cook faster (low and long for less tender cuts of meat). If you're oven can get to 500 degrees F, then only about 7 minutes per pound for rare, 10 for medium. Best to check its internal temperature. 125 degrees for rare, and 135 for medium. If you want well done tenderloin, please don't destroy such good meat, and buy something else. Take it out and let the meat sit for at least 10 minutes with foil tented over top to let the juices come back into the meat. Don't cut it until it rests. The real answer is to cook to temperature as all ovens vary. You'll find if you take it out of the oven a few degrees before your desired temperature, it will continue to cook while it rests. There is a debate over whether or not to sear/brown the meat before roasting. The myth is that this will lock in the juices and keep the meat moist. This is not the case. The reason one should sear the meat before roasting is to unlock certain complex flavors in the meat that can only be obtained from a high temperature cooking. That being said, it is only necessary to brown the outside of the meat for a few short minutes on the high heat. Let's call this a "light browning" , we aren't looking to burn or char the outside. We also don't want to overcook the meat. The searing process will not significantly shorten the length of time the meat should cook if done correctly.
Time is a very inaccurate way to measure doneness. Cook pork to an internal temperature of 160oF.
The cooking time for a 3 pound joint of roast beef can vary depending on the desired doneness of the meat. For rare meat, cooking time should take about 33 minutes. For well done, cooking time should be about 48 minutes.
To cook a 4 lb beef tenderloin, preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Season the meat as desired, then roast it in the oven for about 20-25 minutes per pound, until it reaches an internal temperature of 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare. Allow the tenderloin to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing to ensure juices redistribute.
Preheat your oven to 160°C (325°F) and use these cooking times to prepare a roast that's moist, tender and delicious.Your roast should be covered with foil for the first half of the roasting time. 5 to 7 lb Joint takes 2 to 2½ hours Beef can be taken out of the oven sooner if you prefer rare (bloody) meat. Tips for a better roast. For extra flavour you can add optional vegetables such as carrots, parsnips, onions and celery to your roasting pan, and roast the meat 'on a bed' of veg. The veg also helps to keep the roast off the bottom of the roasting pan so it doesn't 'stew' in its own juices.
I wrap (seal) it in tinfoil with what-ever I want to season it with and bake it at 225 degrees for about 4 hours for a 1 lb. roast, for 2 to 4 lbs. about 6 hours. Corned beef is my favorite cooked this way. Wrap it tight with several layers of foil.

You would cook a 2.25 lb. beef chuck boneless eye roast wrapped in foil for about 4 hours. The oven should be set to 180 degrees Celsius/375 degrees Fahrenheit.
To rotisserie a 3 lb beef roast, it typically takes about 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the cooking temperature and desired doneness. A general guideline is to cook the roast at a temperature of around 350°F (175°C). It's important to monitor the internal temperature, aiming for around 135°F (57°C) for medium-rare, and allow for resting time after cooking.
10 to 12 hours on low setting.

cooking time for 6lb roast in oven
If you figure roughly 2 sandwiches per person... And each sandwich is 1/4 the size of a regular sandwich... That works out to 25 whole sandwiches cut into quarters. So the real question becomes how much roast beef do you need to make 25 sandwiches? I figure 1/10 of a pound of roast beef per sandwich should be adequate. So that means you'll need about 2.5 pounds. A full sandwich before cutting would be 4/10 of a pound of roast beef which is almost a half pound, so I think 1/10 of a pound would work nicely. And to be on the safe side, I'd make 60-65 mini sandwiches just to be sure.
