Print Recipe

A simple and comforting slow cooker pot roast made with just five ingredients, delivering tender, juicy meat with a tangy, buttery sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 to 4 pounds beef chuck roast
  • 1 packet (about 1 ounce) ranch seasoning mix
  • 6 to 8 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, softened or sliced into pats
  • 1/2 cup beef broth

Instructions

  1. Trim the roast by removing large chunks of excess fat, leaving some fat for flavor (about 5 minutes).
  2. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix evenly over all sides of the roast and pat gently to adhere.
  3. Place the seasoned roast in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  4. Pour the beef broth around the sides of the roast, avoiding pouring directly on top.
  5. Place butter pats on top of the roast.
  6. Scatter the whole pepperoncini peppers around and over the roast, then pour the pepperoncini juice into the broth.
  7. Cover and cook on low for 8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
  8. Check doneness by testing if the meat pulls apart easily; shred in the slow cooker or slice on a platter.
  9. Spoon the buttery, pepperoncini-infused juices over the meat before serving.
  10. If sauce is too thin, mix 1 teaspoon cornstarch with cold water and stir into slow cooker; cook uncovered for 15 minutes to thicken.

Notes

For best results, choose a well-marbled chuck roast with a fat cap. Leaving some pepperoncini seeds adds heat; remove seeds for milder flavor. Butter adds richness; substitute with olive oil or vegan butter for dairy-free. Avoid lifting the slow cooker lid during cooking to maintain heat. Sauce can be thickened with cornstarch slurry if needed.
