Pat the beef loin roast dry with paper towels.
In a small bowl, mix salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the entire beef loin roast.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Sear the beef loin roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.

Place the seared beef loin roast on top of the vegetables in the crock pot.
Pour beef broth and red wine over the beef and vegetables.
