Prep Time: 15min. | Total Time: 8 hours | Serves: 8
Ingredients
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1 3-4-pound boneless chuck roast or top or bottom round roast
1 tablespoon Olive Oil
1 (1 ounce) packet dry ranch dressing seasoning mix
1 (1 ounce) packet dry au jus gravy mix
1 stick unsalted butter
10 Jeff’s Garden Whole Golden Greek Peperoncini (or more if you like)
Generous splash of Peperoncini brine
Directions
Season both sides of the roast with salt and pepper to taste.
In a large skillet, heat the oil. When hot, add the roast and sear on both sides. Searing is optional!
Transfer the seared roast to the slow-cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix on top of the chuck roast, then sprinkle the dry au jus mix and place the stick of butter on top of the roast. Arrange the pepperoncini around the roast and add the brine.
Cook on low for 8 hours or until the meat is falling apart tender. Shred the roast and serve with gravy juices.
Cook’s note: To make this in the oven, preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Sear the roast and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the ranch and au jus seasoning. Cut the butter into pieces and arrange all over the roast along with the pepperoncini.
Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2 to 3 hours or until meat is fork tender.
