A tender, flavorful pot roast slow-cooked with zesty pepperoncini peppers and a special blend of seasonings for a melt-in-your-mouth dinner that’s easy and crowd-pleasing.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (1 oz / 28 g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (0.9 oz / 25 g) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (113 g) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 1 jar (7 oz / 200 g) pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) beef broth (optional)
  • Fresh cracked black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and trim excess fat if desired.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over all sides of the roast. Let sit for 5 minutes.
  3. Place the unsalted butter on the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Set the seasoned roast on top of the butter in the slow cooker.
  5. Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers with juice over the roast.
  6. Optionally, add beef broth around the edges for extra moisture.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork-tender and falling apart.
  8. Remove the roast carefully with tongs onto a platter.
  9. Use two forks to shred the meat in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices.
  10. Add freshly cracked black pepper to taste.
  11. Serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or your favorite side, spooning sauce generously.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with olive oil or plant-based spread. To thicken sauce, remove meat and simmer liquid on stove for 5-10 minutes. Let roast rest before shredding to lock in juices. Adjust slow cooker timing if your model runs hot. Seeds can be removed from pepperoncini for milder flavor.
