Ingredients
  

For the Roast
  • 3 pounds boneless chuck roast essential for that tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
For the Seasoning
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix adds a zesty kick that pairs beautifully with the meat
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix creates a rich and savory sauce
For the Cooking
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter enriches the flavor and keeps the roast moist
  • 6 pieces pepperoncini peppers infuses tangy spiciness

Equipment

  • Slow cooker
  • skillet
  • meat fork

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C).
  2. Season the chuck roast generously with salt and pepper. Melt half the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat, and sear the roast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until browned.
  3. Transfer the roast to your slow cooker and sprinkle the ranch dressing and au jus gravy mixes over the top. Add the pepperoncini peppers and their juices, then top with the remaining butter.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  5. Shred the meat using two forks, returning it to the sauce in the slow cooker. Serve it over mashed potatoes or in soft buns.
