Follow The Directions

01

Step
5 mins

Season the chuck roast generously on all sides with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dredge the roast evenly in flour, ensuring a thin, even coating. (5 minutes)

02

Step
15 mins

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven, heat olive oil over high heat until shimmering. Sear the roast on all sides until deeply browned and a flavorful crust develops, about 3-4 minutes per side. (15 minutes)

03

Step
5 mins

Transfer the seared roast to the bowl of a slow cooker. Pour beef broth around the roast. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over the top of the roast. Distribute the butter pats evenly over the seasoning. Nestle the pepperoncini peppers around the roast. (5 minutes)

04

Step
8 hrs

Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 7-8 hours, or on high heat for 3-4 hours, until the roast is fork-tender and easily shreds. (3-8 hours)

05

Step
5 mins

Once cooked, use two forks to shred the meat directly in the slow cooker, incorporating it with the flavorful sauce. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Serve hot over your choice of creamy mashed potatoes, egg noodles, polenta or crusty bread for sandwiches. Spoon the flavorful sauce generously over the meat. (5 minutes)

For an even richer flavor, consider searing the roast in butter or ghee instead of olive oil.
Adjust the number of pepperoncini peppers to your preferred level of heat. For a milder flavor, remove the seeds from the peppers before adding them to the slow cooker.
If the sauce is too thin after cooking, remove the lid from the slow cooker during the last 30-60 minutes of cooking time to allow it to reduce and thicken.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
