What should you do if leave a pot roast out for 2 hours on the counter after searing it can still cook it?

It is not safe to eat a pot roast that has been left out for 2 hours on the counter after searing it. Bacteria can grow rapidly at room temperature, and even if you cook the roast again, it may not be able to kill all of the bacteria that have grown. This could lead to food poisoning.

If you have left a pot roast out for 2 hours on the counter, it is best to discard it and make a new one.
