Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 3 lb boneless beef chuck roast
  • 1 tbsp kosher salt
  • 1 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for searing
  • 1 cup yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 oz dry ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 oz au jus gravy mix
  • 0.5 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 0.5 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • 2 tbsp pepperoncini brine
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter cut into pieces
  • 2 cups baby potatoes, halved optional
  • 1.5 cups carrot chunks optional

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Pat the roast dry, then season all sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Sear the roast for 3–4 minutes per side until well browned.
  • Spread potatoes, carrots, and onions in the slow cooker.
  • Place the seared roast on top of the vegetables.
  • Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus mix evenly over the meat.
  • Add pepperoncini and pour in the pepperoncini brine.
  • Pour beef broth around the sides to avoid washing off seasonings.
  • Dot the top of the roast with butter pieces.
  • Cover and cook on Low for 8 hours, until fork-tender.
  • Shred the beef in the pot and toss with the cooking juices. Serve warm.

Notes

Variation: Swap au jus mix for onion soup mix, or add mushrooms in the last hour. Oven method: Cover and braise at 325°F for 3 to 3½ hours. Storage: Refrigerate up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months.
