Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.

Season the beef chuck roast with salt and black pepper on all sides.
Step 3
Sear the beef in the hot skillet for 2-3 minutes per side until browned. Transfer the roast to the crock pot.

Pour the sauce mixture over the beef and onions in the crock pot.
