Method
Preparation
- Start by heating some butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear each side of the chuck roast until it’s a lovely golden brown.
- Place the seared roast in your slow cooker. Surround it with chopped onions, carrots, and potatoes.
- Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix evenly over the meat. Pour beef broth around the roast, and then add the pepperoncini (including some of the juice if desired for extra flavor).
Cooking
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4 hours.
- Once cooked, shred the meat with two forks right in the slow cooker. Serve with the veggies and the delicious juice—don’t forget to ladle some over your plate!
Notes
For an additional layer of flavor, add fresh herbs, such as thyme or rosemary. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with water and stir it into the pot during the last hour of cooking.
