Hi Anna,

You can sear the meat first if you'd like but it isn't necessary. If you do, it will add some flavor - I would deglaze the pan with the beef broth and add that to the roaster. Personally, 1 tablespoon salt seems like too much to me, especially if the broth or bouillon you use has salt. It's a good idea not to open the lid too often, each time the moisture escapes and it can also add to the cooking time.

I hope that's a help!
