Ingredients

Servings
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil optional, for browning
  • 3-4 pound chuck roast
  • ¼ cup water optional, for browning
  • 8-10 Pepperoncini approximately ½ the contents of a 16-oz jar, plus 1/2 cup of the pepperoncini juice
  • ¼ cup butter salted or unsalted is fine
  • 1 ounce Ranch dressing mix about 2 heaping tablespoons, packet
  • 1 ounce au jus gravy mix about 2 heaping tablespoons, packet

Instructions

  1. *Add oil to a large dutch oven and heat over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the roast and cook until deeply browned, 3-5 minutes. Repeat on the other side.
  2. Remove from heat and transfer roast to your slow cooker. Return the dutch oven to medium-high heat and add the water. Use a wooden spoon to scrape all the cooked brown bits from the bottom of the pot before pouring everything over the top of the roast in the slow cooker.
  3. To the slow cooker, add the pepperoncini, pepperoncini juice, butter, ranch dressing mix, and au jus gravy mix. Cover and cook until meat is fall-apart tender, 6-8 hours on low*.
  4. Transfer roast to a cutting board and use two forks to shred the meat. Pick out any large pieces of fat before returning the shredded meat to the gravy.* Serve over mashed potatoes or alongside your favorite vegetable sides, and enjoy!

Notes

  • *Searing the roast helps develop and deepen the flavor of the dish, but if you’re short on time or don’t want to dirty an extra pan, this step can be skipped. Simply combine all ingredients (minus the oil and water) in the slow cooker and follow the rest of the recipe as written.
  • *If you’re in a hurry, you can cook the roast for 3-4 hours on high, but you’ll get better, more tender results cooking low and slow.
  • * If desired, you can chop up the pepperoncini and mix them in with the meat when serving.
  • Approximate nutritional information is for 8 servings.
