Every time I make pot roast I can feel my dad behind my shoulder licking his lips. Pot roast was his favorite. And it's one of my favorites too. 

I have some good recipes, but I like to try new ones just in case they are good too. 

This one, it was ok, but not one I need to make again. Super easy, and very few ingredients. It just didn't hit that "like" button for me enough.

Serves 8

• 1 (4 pound) boneless beef chuck roast
• 1 T Worcestershire sauce, or to taste
• 1 T Montreal-style steak seasoning
• 2 T olive oil

Rub chuck roast with 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce and sprinkle on all sides with steak seasoning.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast in the hot oil until browned, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer roast to a slow cooker.
