Main Ingredients
- 3–4 lb chuck roast
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (about 1 oz)
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix (about 1 oz)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 6–8 pepperoncini peppers
Instructions
- Prepare the Dutch Oven: Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Place the chuck roast in a large Dutch oven to prepare for seasoning and baking.
- Add Seasonings and Butter: Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the chuck roast. Place the butter on top of the roast, distributing it evenly for richness during cooking.
- Include Pepperoncini Peppers: Arrange the pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the roast. These add a subtle tang and depth of flavor to the dish.
- Bake Until Tender: Cover the Dutch oven with its lid and place it in the preheated oven. Bake for 3.5 to 4 hours, or until the meat is extremely tender and easily pulls apart with a fork.
- Serve: Once cooked, remove the roast from the oven, shred the meat in the Dutch oven, stirring it into the juices and pepperoncini for a flavorful finish. Serve hot with your choice of sides.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sear the chuck roast in a hot skillet before placing it in the Dutch oven.
- The cooking time may vary slightly depending on the size and thickness of the roast.
- Save the cooking juices to use as a flavorful gravy.
- Adjust the number of pepperoncini peppers to your preferred level of tanginess.
- Leftovers taste great and can be refrigerated for up to 3 days or frozen for longer storage.
