  • ½ 12 oz jar pepperoncini
  • ½ 12 oz jar pepperoncini juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 1 oz packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1 0.4 oz package buttermilk ranch dressing mix
  • Salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. In a slow cooker, combine the chuck roast, pepperoncini, pepperoncini juice, unsalted butter, au jus gravy mix, ranch dressing mix, salt, and pepper.
  2. Cover and cook on Low for approximately 8 hours or until the roast is fork-tender.
  3. Once cooked, remove the chuck roast from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  4. Serve the shredded beef with the delicious gravy from the slow cooker.

Notes

  • Opt for a chuck roast, which is well-marbled and ideal for slow cooking. This cut of meat becomes incredibly tender and flavorful after hours in the slow cooker.
  • Set your slow cooker to low heat and let the magic happen! Cooking the pot roast low and slow for about 8 hours ensures that the meat becomes fork-tender and absorbs all the delicious flavors.
