Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Pat the boneless chuck roast dry with paper towels. Season generously with freshly ground black pepper.
  2. Heat a splash of olive oil in a large skillet. Sear the roast on each side for 3-4 minutes until golden-brown, then transfer to the slow cooker.
  3. Sprinkle the dry ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast. Place the unsalted butter on top.
  4. Arrange the jarred peperoncini peppers around the roast and pour the pepper brine over.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours or HIGH for 4-5 hours. The roast should be fork-tender when done.
  6. Shred the beef in the slow cooker with two forks, mixing it with the juices. Serve hot.
