How high should the burner be and for how long to sear a 3lb beef roast?

High. That's what "sear" means. How long it takes depends on how big the roast is and how many times you have to turn it to sear the entire surface area. You're not trying to cook the meat. You're trying to scorch the surface to create a crust that will add flavor and seal in the juices.
