Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 pound chuck roast
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 6 pepperoncini peppers whole
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice from the jar
  • 1 medium onion sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth

Instructions
 

  • Place sliced onions at the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Put the chuck roast on top of the onions.
  • In a small bowl, mix Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, thyme, pepper, and paprika.
  • Rub this mixture all over the roast.
  • Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix over the roast.
  • Place the butter on top of the roast.
  • Add pepperoncini peppers and pour pepperoncini juice and beef broth around the roast.
  • For slow cooker: Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours. For pressure cooker: Cook on high pressure for 60 minutes, then natural release for 15 minutes.
  • Once done, shred the meat in the pot, mixing it with the juices.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, mix 2 tablespoons cornstarch with a little cold water, then stir into the pot. Cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes until thickened.

Notes

To Cook in an Instant Pot: Follow the same directions as the slow cooker version, but cook in the Instant Pot on High Pressure for 45-50 minutes, followed by a natural release for 15 minutes. Cook until the roast is tender and can shred easily.
