Of course it is safe. 4 years is still young. It doesn't even start to
get interesting until at least 10 years in the freezer. ;-)

Thaw it out slowly and see what you've got. Trim off any obvious
freezer burn and cut up the rest for stew meat, or grind it up, or
whatever else you'd do with an eye of round. If it is wrapped properly
in freezer paper, there may not be any freezer burn to trim off.
