Equipment

• Large skillet (for searing)
• Slow cooker (6-quart recommended)
• Tongs & forks (for shredding)

Ingredients

  

For the Roast:

• 3-4 lbs chuck roast well-marbled
• 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
• ½ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil for searing

For the Seasoning & Sauce:

• 1 packet 1 oz / 28g dry ranch seasoning mix
• 1 packet 1 oz / 28g au jus gravy mix
• ½ cup 1 stick unsalted butter cubed
• 6-8 whole pepperoncini peppers plus 2 tbsp juice from the jar
• ½ cup beef broth optional, for extra gravy

Instructions

 

Sear the Roast (Optional but Recommended):

• Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Season the chuck roast with salt and black pepper.
• Sear the roast for 2-3 minutes per side until a golden-brown crust forms. Transfer to a slow cooker.

Assemble in Slow Cooker:

• Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast.
• Add cubed butter on top, followed by the whole pepperoncini peppers.
• Pour 2 tbsp of pepperoncini juice over the roast. If you prefer extra gravy, add ½ cup beef broth.

Slow Cook to Perfection:

• Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours (or HIGH for 4-5 hours) until the meat is fork-tender and easily shreds.

Shred & Serve:

• Use two forks to shred the beef directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the flavorful juices.
• Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or in sandwiches with toasted hoagie rolls.

Notes

Storage: Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 4 days or frozen for 3 months.

Substitutions:

• Use pork shoulder instead of beef for a different flavor.
• Swap pepperoncini for banana peppers if needed.
• Replace butter with ghee for a dairy-free version.
