Beef roast and the Ninja Cooking System are a match made in heaven. I have to admit that I was running a bit short on time so I decided to sear the roast using a regular pan despite the searing ability of the cooking system. I find that while it is able to tackle the job, it takes a bit longer to heat up to searing temperature and I didn’t have much time to wait.
As with other “slow cook” recipes the awesome part about this is being able to do a little work up front and let it work its magic during the day while you are away. I made this on a Sunday and was able to enjoy a nice day at the park and running errands with the kids. Coming home to an amazing aroma and a meal waiting to be served is truly bliss.
Tip: beware, slow cookers are also easy to forget, so if you aren’t sure you will be back right on time I suggest setting it to 7 hours. The cooking system will turn itself to its auto warm setting which will keep it warm without drying out.

Uhh, cooking time would be 8 hrs (not 8 minutes) as listed. Regardless, thanks for sharing. Sounds delish!
LOL, it does say 8 hours. “8h, 00 min”
I love My Ninja cooking so good so easy … is my best friend in the kitchen <3
Cooking time 8 minutes, I don’t think so.
Good Catch Robert! Should have read 8 hours.
Thanks!
only if you like your roast really REALLY rare.
LOL, this recipe’s cook time does state 8 hours (8h). It says 8h and 00 min. Granted the person posting this recipe could have corrected it after seeing a couple of people mention the cook time.
Mine says 8 H 00 Min , I’m trying this right now. I want to put some potatoes in. I thought around the 4 hr mark, any ideas ? I have enjoyed a few great meals in my 3 in 1, looking forward to trying more things.
It says 8h 00m. Not 8 minutes. LOL
