Instructions
  1. In the Multicooker, whisk together the broth, wine, tomato paste, mustard, Worcestershire, and 1/2 teaspoon of the black pepper.
  2. Add the potatoes, carrots, parsnips, onions, and rosemary to the pot, and toss to combine.
  3. Season the beef with the salt and remaining 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Nestle the beef into the vegetables in the pot. Cover with the lid, press [Roast], and adjust the temperature to 300°F and the timer to 2 hours 30 minutes.
  5. Cook until the beef is very tender, about 2 hours 15 minutes. Press Cancel.
  6. Remove and discard the rosemary. Transfer the beef to a cutting board, remove the string (if using), and slice thinly.
  7. Arrange the beef and vegetables on a serving platter or plates, spooning any remaining liquid over the top. Sprinkle with parsley (if using).

    There is no (roast) setting. And the meat/stew setting doesnt let the operator enter the time. So hmmmm….

    When my pot roast finished, the vegetables were all burned and stuck to the bottom of the pan! It had basically boiled dry! I used the roast program and followed the instructions as written except I used more broth than called for. I’ll try try the slow cook program next time.

    Painfully salty recipe. Really cut down on the amount of salt used to season the beef in the first sear.

    This recipe is designed for our MultiCooker line that is temperature controlled and not our Multi-Use Pressure Cooker.

    I have not made this exact recipe, but I attempted to make pot roast last night following a different recipe. I used the bake setting at 350 and after 45 mins it had all boiled dry and burned the bottom of the roast and veggies. Dinner was completely ruined. Hoping to try this recipe next time and hoping for a much better outcome.

    Hi Carol,

    Thank you for the feedback.

    Recipes titled Multicooker are for our multicooker and not our Multi-Use Pressure cooker.

    Same problem, everything boiled out. I checked it at 2 hours after seeing no liquid through the lid. Maybe slow cooker would be better for it than roast. On the plus side, the burnt mess was easy to remove and clean with just a sponge and dish detergent.
