A simple, flavorful slow cooker pot roast featuring tender beef chuck roast with zesty pepperoncini peppers and ranch seasoning for an easy, comforting meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 0.87 ounces) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
  • 7 to 8 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini juice
  • Optional: 2-3 minced garlic cloves
  • Optional: fresh cracked black pepper
  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Trim excess fat from the chuck roast if desired and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over all sides of the roast.
  3. Place the seasoned roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Cut the butter into chunks and place on top of the roast.
  5. Scatter whole pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the roast.
  6. Pour pepperoncini juice over everything.
  7. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4 to 5 hours until the roast is fork-tender.
  8. Check for doneness; if still tough, cook another hour on low and test again.
  9. Shred the meat with two forks in the slow cooker and mix with the juices.
  10. Serve with peppers and sauce spooned over the top.
  11. Optional: For thicker sauce, remove roast and simmer liquid on stove for 5–10 minutes until reduced.

Notes

For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or vegan butter. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain heat. For thicker sauce, reduce cooking liquid on stove. Instant Pot cooking time is 60-75 minutes on high pressure with natural release. Adjust seasoning to taste before serving.
