Sprinkle a mixture of black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt on the beef roast, rubbing it on all sides.

Heat oil in a skillet until it sizzles, then add the beef roast to brown it on both sides.

Remove the browned roast from the skillet and set it aside.

Add chopped onions and potatoes to the slow cooker, placing the potatoes under the meat for flavor.

Mix two packages of gluten-free brown gravy mix with water, adding more water to keep it from being too thick.

Pour the gravy mixture over the roast and vegetables in the slow cooker.

Set the slow cooker to high heat and check periodically, rearranging the ingredients as needed.

After two hours, check the tenderness of the potatoes and roast, noting that russet potatoes take longer to cook.

Continue cooking for an additional hour until the roast and potatoes are tender.
