Step-by-Step Instructions
 

  • Start by gathering all of your ingredients. Preparation is key!
  • Generously season your chuck roast with a sprinkle of salt and pepper on all sides.
  • In a large skillet over high heat, heat the olive oil. Carefully add the roast and sear each side until it's beautifully browned, about 4 minutes per side.
  • Place your seared roast into the slow cooker and sprinkle the dry onion soup mix on top. This will add heavenly flavors as it cooks.
