Recipe type: Dinner
Cuisine: American
Serves: 4-6
Ingredients
3 lb pot roast (I used a Chuck Roast)
1 packet Ranch dressing mix
1 packet Au Jus mix
6 pepperoncini peppers
1 stick unsalted butter
salt and pepper
oil
Instructions
Place a large skillet on the stove top on high heat. Add oil to hot skillet. You want it really hot here to brown or “sear” the beef quickly.
Take a paper towel and make sure you dry both sides of the pot roast (drying the meat helps it brown easier.) Season both sides with a little salt and pepper.
Add the roast to hot skillet.
Allow the roast to cook for about 2-3 minutes (on each side) until it is golden brown. This gives it extra flavor.
In a 5 or 6-quart slow cooker/crock pot, place roast in slow cooker and sprinkle Ranch dressing mix and Au Jus mix on top.
Top with 1 stick of butter and the pepperoncini peppers (not the liquid...NO liquid gets added to the slow cooker). Cook in the slow cooker on low for 6 to 8 hours (mine was done in 5 because my slow cooker cooks hot).
Shred the meat and serve with the gravy/juice from slow cooker on top. If you prefer, put the drippings through a gravy separator to reduce the fat content. Serve on top of rice, egg noodles, risotto, or mashed potatoes!
