For a richer flavor, sear the chuck roast in a hot pan before placing it in the slow cooker. Adjust the amount of pepperoncini juice to control the level of spiciness. Serve with a side of giardiniera for an authentic Italian beef experience. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and are great for sandwiches or as a topping for baked potatoes.
