Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 lb chuck roast
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet dry au jus gravy mix
- 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers, plus 2 tablespoons of the juice
Instructions
- Place the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix and the dry au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast.
- Arrange the pieces of butter on top of the roast.
- Pour the pepperoncini peppers and the juice over everything.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 8 hours or on HIGH for 4 hours.
- Shred the beef directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Stir the shredded beef into the cooking liquid to coat it completely.
- Serve the tender beef immediately over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or on buns.
Notes
- For the best results and most tender meat, cook on the LOW setting for the full 8 hours.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the roast when done, shred it, and then mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this slurry into the liquid in the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 15 minutes until thickened.
- This recipe is a great option for a weeknight slow cooker meal because there is no chopping required.
