Marinate overnight in fridge or for an hour if you weren’t that prepared.
Separate the crockpotmeat from the rest of the marinade. Heat oil in the bottom of a stew pot or a fry pan. Fry meat until seared and golden all over, a little at a time. Remove from pan.

Talia's notes:
- For healthiness, you could reduce the amount of meat and replace some of it with zucchini or other nice root vegetables - add them in with the carrots.
