Instructions

Season the roast with salt and pepper on all sides.
In a hot skillet, sear the roast for 2–3 minutes per side until browned.
Place the sliced onion, carrots, and quartered potatoes into the slow cooker.
Add minced garlic, thyme, bay leaf, and Worcestershire sauce on top of the vegetables.
Put the seared roast on top of the vegetables in the slow cooker.
