Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast

Seasonings

  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix

Add-ins

  • 5 to 7 pepperoncini peppers, whole

Instructions

  1. Prepare the slow cooker: Place the beef chuck roast into the slow cooker, ensuring it fits comfortably without crowding.
  2. Add seasonings and peppers: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast, then scatter the whole pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the beef.
  3. Cook the roast: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and set to cook on low heat for 8 hours or on high for 4 to 5 hours, until the beef is tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
  4. Rest and serve: Once cooked, remove the roast and shred it if desired. Serve the beef with the juices and peppers spooned over the top to enjoy a rich and flavorful meal.

Notes

  • Use a chuck roast as it becomes tender and flavorful through slow cooking.
  • Adjust pepperoncini quantity based on your desired level of tang and mild heat.
  • For a thicker gravy, remove the beef after cooking and simmer the leftover juices before serving.
  • This recipe yields excellent leftovers for sandwiches or tacos.
