• Heat olive oil in a large heavy bottom skillet or pot. Add coated meat and brown each piece on all sides.
• While meat is browning, cut potatoes and carrots and place both in the bottom of a crock pot. When meat is browned, layer the meat on top of the potatoes and carrots and leave remaining juices in the skillet.
