To cook the pot roast:
Using the BROWN/SAUTÉ mode, preheat the Multicooker to 450°F for 5 minutes. Season the beef generously with salt and
pepper. Dredge the beef in the flour to coat lightly. Add the oil to the cooker, then add the beef and cook for about 10
minutes, or until brown on all sides. Transfer the beef to a plate and set aside.
Pour off all but 1 tablespoon of oil from the cooker. Add the poblano chiles, onions, and bell pepper to the cooker and
sauté, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom, for about 5 minutes, or until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the
sauce and bring to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and return the beef to the cooker.
Set the SLOW COOK mode to HIGH. Cover and cook the beef mixture for 4 hours. Turn the beef over. Cover and continue
cooking for 2 hours. Stir in the cilantro and cook 2 more hours, or until the beef is very tender when pierced with a fork.
Transfer the beef to a cutting board. Skim off the excess fat from the surface of the sauce. Slice the beef and arrange it
on plates. Season the sauce to taste with salt. Spoon the vegetables and sauce over and around the beef. Serve with the
warm tortillas.
