Ingredients
Base
- 3.5 lb chuck roast with good marbling
- 0.25 cup butter unsalted preferred
Seasoning
- 1 packet ranch dressing mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
Tangy Kick
- 5 pieces pepperoncini peppers adjust to taste
Instructions
- Place the chuck roast in the center of the slow cooker. No need to trim the fat.
- Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast.
- Add the pepperoncini peppers on top. Cut the butter into chunks and place over the seasonings.
- Cover and cook on low for 8 hours without opening the lid.
- Shred the roast using two forks right in the slow cooker and mix with the juices before serving.
Notes
No need to sear the meat. Use unsalted butter if reducing sodium. For less salt, use half of each seasoning packet. Pepperoncini add tang, not heat. No extra liquid needed. Thicken sauce by removing the lid for the last 30 minutes or using a cornstarch slurry.
