Ingredients

Beef

  • 4 lb. chuck roast (3-5 lbs will work)

Seasonings and Flavorings

  • 1 oz. ranch seasoning packet (original, dip, or spicy packet can be used)
  • 0.87 oz brown gravy mix packet (McCormick recommended)
  • 1/4 cup peperoncini juice (optional but adds tanginess and flavor)

Others

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick; can use salted butter)
  • 10 or more peperoncini peppers

Instructions

  1. Add Roast to Slow Cooker: Place the 4 lb chuck roast directly into the slow cooker. Optionally, you can brown the meat in a skillet on the stovetop beforehand for added flavor, but this step is not necessary.
  2. Add Seasoning Packets: Sprinkle the entire ranch seasoning packet and brown gravy packet evenly over the top of the roast in the slow cooker.
  3. Add Butter and Peppers: Place the whole stick of butter on top of the seasoned roast. Add 10 or more peperoncini peppers along with 1/4 cup of the peperoncini juice if you want extra tang and flavor.
  4. Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker and cook the roast on LOW heat for 8-10 hours, or on HIGH heat for 6-7 hours. Avoid opening the lid during cooking time to maintain heat and moisture.
  5. Shred and Serve: Once done, shred the roast directly in the slow cooker using two forks. Remove any fatty or undesirable pieces before serving.

Notes

  • You can brown the chuck roast in a skillet before slow cooking to deepen the flavor, but it’s optional.
  • If you don’t have a brown gravy packet, substitute with 1 tablespoon of brown gravy mix or use 1 cup of beef broth and adjust seasoning accordingly.
  • The peperoncini juice is optional but highly recommended for added tanginess.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or on sandwich buns for a hearty meal.
