Print Recipe

A simple, tender slow-cooked chuck roast infused with zesty pepperoncini peppers and ranch seasoning, perfect for an easy, flavorful weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 1 jar (about 8–10) pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • Optional: 2-3 minced garlic cloves
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels to help the seasoning stick better. Season lightly with salt and pepper if desired.
  2. Place the roast flat in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast.
  4. Pour the entire jar of pepperoncini peppers and their juice over the roast. Use tongs to gently spread the peppers on top.
  5. Slice the unsalted butter into pats and place them evenly over the roast.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours or until the meat is tender enough to shred easily with a fork. Alternatively, cook on high for 4-5 hours.
  7. Use tongs or forks to shred the roast right in the pot. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
  8. Serve the tender meat and peppers over mashed potatoes, rice, or inside soft rolls for sandwiches.

Notes

Do not lift the lid during cooking to maintain heat. For thicker sauce, remove meat and simmer liquid on stove. Add baby potatoes or carrots at start for a one-pot meal. Can be made in oven using Dutch oven at 300°F for 3-4 hours. Substitute butter with dairy-free alternatives for dairy-free version. Use low-sodium seasoning mixes to reduce salt.
