Print Recipe

A flavorful and tender slow cooker pot roast made with beef chuck roast, ranch seasoning, butter, and tangy pepperoncini peppers. This easy recipe delivers melt-in-your-mouth beef with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast, well-marbled
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick, 113 g) unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz/28 g) ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet (about 0.9 oz/25 g) au jus gravy mix
  • 7 to 10 pepperoncini peppers with juice, sliced or whole
  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of red pepper flakes
  • Optional: fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the beef chuck roast, leaving a thin layer for juiciness. Pat dry with paper towels. (5 minutes)
  2. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over all sides of the roast. Rub minced garlic cloves around the meat if using. (5 minutes)
  3. Place the seasoned roast in the slow cooker. Add pepperoncini peppers and their juice on top. Pour softened butter over the roast. (2 minutes)
  4. Cover and cook on low heat for 8 hours or until the roast shreds easily with a fork. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours for less tender results. (8 hours)
  5. Remove the roast and shred using two forks. Stir the juices and peppers in the slow cooker with the shredded beef. Serve hot, spooning juices over the top. (5 minutes)

Notes

Use a well-marbled chuck roast for best results. Do not skip the pepperoncini juice as it tenderizes the meat. Let the roast rest 10 minutes before shredding to lock in juices. Butter can be substituted with a dairy-free alternative for a dairy-free version. Ranch and au jus seasoning packets should be checked for gluten if needed. If sauce is thin, thicken with cornstarch slurry. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
