Sorry if I missed this but how long and how hot do you cook this in an oven
After searing it on the stove, place it in your slow cooker on low for 4 hours! Then check to see how tender the meat is, if it needs longer, you can leave it in for up to 4 more hours!

Do you think this can be made in an electric pressure multicooker? Sure sounds delish, a faster cooking method sits the hubs and me better though. Thank you! All your recipes have been really awesome!
I have done mine in the pressure cooker! Turned out great! About an hour and 45 minutes depending on the size of your roast
