Ingredients
- 3 pounds Chuck roast
- 1 16-ounce jar Pepperoncini peppers (with juice)
- 1 packet Dry Italian dressing mix
- 1 cup Beef broth
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
Directions
Step 1
1. Begin by patting the chuck roast dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This helps ensure a good sear.
Step 2
2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and sear the chuck roast on all sides until a golden-brown crust forms, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 3
3. In a 6-quart slow cooker, pour the beef broth and half of the juice from the jar of pepperoncini peppers.
Step 4
4. Place the seared roast into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry Italian dressing mix over the top of the roast.
Step 5
5. Add the minced garlic, black pepper, and onion powder to the slow cooker. Scatter the butter (remaining 3 tablespoons) over the roast.
Step 6
6. Add the pepperoncini peppers, tucking some around the roast and a few on top. Use approximately 10-12 peppers, or adjust based on your heat preference.
Step 7
7. Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on LOW for 8 hours or until the meat is tender and can be easily shredded with a fork.
Step 8
8. Once cooked, use two forks to shred the roast directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the flavorful juices and peppers.
Step 9
9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding a pinch of salt or additional pepper.
Step 10
10. Serve warm on crusty rolls for sandwiches, over mashed potatoes, or in tacos for a versatile and delicious meal. Enjoy!
