Season the roast with salt and pepper.
Heat oil in a skillet and sear the roast on all sides until browned.
Place the roast in the crockpot.
Add chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes around the roast.
Pour in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce.
Add minced garlic and herbs for flavor.
Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours.
Check for tenderness; the meat should fall apart easily.
Serve hot with juices from the pot.
