Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 3 to 4-pound chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 0.87 oz)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (4 tablespoons)
  • 5 to 7 pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/2 cup beef broth
  • Optional: 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Roast: Pat your chuck roast dry with paper towels to help the seasonings stick. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the meat, pressing slightly to adhere.
  2. Add to Crockpot: Place the seasoned roast into the crockpot. Place the unsalted butter on top of the roast and scatter the pepperoncini peppers around the meat. Pour in about 1/2 cup of beef broth to keep the roast moist.
  3. Cook Low and Slow: Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is fork-tender and easily shredded. If short on time, cook on high for 4 to 5 hours, but the low setting gives the best texture.
  4. Shred and Serve: Remove the roast and shred it directly in the crockpot using two forks, mixing it with the juices and peppers. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if necessary before serving.

Notes

  • Choose chuck roast for its fat content and tenderness after slow cooking.
  • Don’t skip the butter; it melts down to create the signature rich and creamy sauce.
  • Use fresh pepperoncini juice or add a splash to intensify tang and mild heat.
  • Avoid lifting the crockpot lid to maintain consistent cooking temperatures.
  • Let the roast rest for a few minutes after cooking before shredding to lock in juices.
