Ingredients
- ½ Tbsp canola oil $0.02
- 2.8 lb. chuck roast $17.64
- ¼ cup pepperoncini juice $0.00
- 1 packet ranch seasoning (mine was 1 oz) $0.54
- 1 packet brown gravy or au jus mix (mine was 0.87 oz) $0.34
- ½ a stick of unsalted butter, cubed $0.49
- 5 Pepperoncini peppers $0.65
Instructions
- Swirl canola oil in a sauté pan and heat over medium-high heat.
- Once hot, sear each side of the roast for 3-4 minutes, resisting the urge to wiggle it around in the pan. Leave it be, that will make your sear perfect! Flipping with metal tongs is easiest because the roast is a bit heavy.
- Transfer the chuck roast to your crock pot.
- Using a whisk, deglaze the sauté pan with the pepperoncini juice. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Sprinkle the roast with ranch and brown gravy seasoning (or au jus) packets.
- Pour the pepperoncini juice from the sauté pan over the top of your chuck roast and dot it with butter. Add the pepperoncini on top.
- Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Check the meat at the 8-hour mark with a fork. If it falls apart easily, it's done!
