A simple, fuss-free slow cooker pot roast recipe featuring tender beef chuck roast infused with tangy pepperoncini peppers, ranch seasoning, and au jus mix for a buttery, slightly spicy sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1/2 cup (115 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 g) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz / 28 g) au jus gravy mix
  • 7 to 8 pepperoncini peppers with juice
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season both sides with black pepper and optional garlic powder.
  2. Optional: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  3. Place the roast in the slow cooker insert.
  4. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus mix evenly over the roast.
  5. Place the butter on top of the roast, then scatter the pepperoncini peppers around the meat. Pour a few tablespoons of the pepperoncini juice over everything.
  6. Cover and cook on low for 6 to 8 hours until the meat is fork-tender and easy to shred.
  7. After 6 hours, test the roast by poking with a fork. If it pulls apart easily, it’s ready; if not, cook for another 30 minutes to an hour.
  8. Remove the roast and let it rest for 10 minutes to redistribute juices.
  9. Slice or shred the roast and spoon the buttery pepperoncini sauce over top before serving.

Notes

Searing the roast before slow cooking is optional but adds extra flavor. Use a slow cooker liner for easy cleanup. If sauce is thin, remove roast and reduce sauce on high for 10-15 minutes. Reserve some pepperoncini for garnish. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking to maintain heat. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil or plant-based margarine. For gluten-free, ensure seasoning mixes are gluten-free or make your own.
