Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
Season the beef chuck roast generously with salt and pepper.
Sear the roast in the skillet for 3-4 minutes on each side until browned. Remove and set aside.
In the slow cooker, layer the onion slices, carrots, and potatoes on the bottom.
Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
In a small bowl, mix together beef broth, minced garlic, chipotle peppers, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, and cumin.
Pour the mixture over the roast and vegetables.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high heat for 4-5 hours, until the beef is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Once cooked, remove the roast and shred or slice as desired. Serve with the vegetables and some of the cooking liquid as gravy.
