Heat two teaspoons of olive oil in a skillet and roast. Make sure to brown the outside of the meat entirely. To get the meat brown on all sides you’ll need to turn the meat every few minutes.

Once browned, place the roast into a crock pot. Add ½ cup of water to the crock pot along with the cubed vegetables. If you’d like, you can completely exclude the vegetables.

Cover the crock pot and cook on high for 3-4 hours. If you need to cook it for longer while you go to work or get other things done, you can cook on low for 6-8 hours.

Once the time is up, check the crock pot roast internal temperature. The roast should be at 145 degrees Fahrenheit.

Let the roast rest for 10 minutes before carving and then serve. Talk about an easy crock pot beef roast!
