Ingredients

  • 1 (3- to 4-pound) beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 8-10 pepperoncini peppers + ¼ cup juice from the jar
  • ¼ cup salted butter

Instructions

  • Place roast in a large slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix over the roast. Add the pepperoncini peppers and juice from the pepperoncini pepper jar along with the butter.
  • Cover and cook on LOW for 8-10 hours or on HIGH for 5-6 hours, until the beef shreds easily with a fork. Serve with mashed potatoes or on toasted buns with provolone cheese for sandwiches.

Notes

  • Sandwiches: Serve on buttered, toasted ciabatta rolls spread with a thin layer of mayonnaise along with sliced provolone cheese melted on top of the shredded meat under the broiler.  
  • Optional sear: If desired, you can season the roast with pepper (no need to salt it as there will be plenty of salt in the seasoning packets already). Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the oil. Brown the roast on all sides in the hot oil, then transfer to a large slow cooker and add remaining ingredients.
