Step 1: Season the roast generously with black pepper and garlic powder, then allow the roast to sit out at room temperature for about 1-1/2 hours.
Step 2: Place the onion soup mix, broth, wine and Worcestershire sauce into the crock pot; mix to combine.
Step 3: Heat oil in a pot or skillet over medium-high heat; add in the seasoned roast and brown well on all sides; transfer to crockpot and turn a few times to coat in the broth mixture.
Step 4: Spoon some of the mixture on top of the roast (some of the dried onion will remain on top just leave it there).
Step 5: Sprinkle the chopped or sliced onions, carrots, potatoes and mushrooms around the roast.
Step 6: Cover and cook on LOW setting for 8-10 hours (about halfway through cooking time remove the lid and quickly turn the roast over basting the roast with the juices on the bottom, do this as quickly as possible as heat is lost in the crockpot when removing the lid increasing the cooking time).
Step 7: Slice the roast and serve with the gravy.
