Ingredients

Scale

Roast Ingredients

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 6 to 8 pepperoncini peppers
  • Optional: 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare the roast: Place the beef chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker. Make sure the roast fits comfortably and has space around it for even cooking.
  2. Add the seasonings: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast, coating it thoroughly with the dry mixes.
  3. Add pepperoncini peppers: Place the whole pepperoncini peppers on and around the roast in the slow cooker. Do not drain them, as their juices add essential flavor and moisture.
  4. Optional butter addition: For extra richness, you can place 2 tablespoons of butter on top of the roast before starting to cook.
  5. Start slow cooking: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook the roast on low heat for 8 hours, or until the beef is fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
  6. Finish and serve: Once done, shred the beef with two forks right in the slow cooker, mixing it with the pepperoncini and juices to absorb all flavors. Serve hot with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • Use a fatty cut like chuck roast for best results and tenderness.
  • Do not drain the pepperoncini peppers or their juices to maintain moisture and flavor.
  • Leftover roast makes excellent sandwiches or tacos.
  • If short on time, cooking on high heat for 4-5 hours can work but low and slow is better for tenderness.
  • Add vegetables like potatoes or carrots around the roast for a one-pot meal.
