Print Recipe

A simple and delicious slow cooker recipe that transforms a chuck roast into tender, juicy, and flavorful sandwiches with a tangy kick from pepperoncini peppers and ranch seasoning.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 pounds chuck roast
  • 1 envelope (about 1 oz) ranch dressing mix
  • 1 packet (about 1 oz) au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter, softened
  • 6–8 whole pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 4–6 soft sandwich buns (brioche or potato buns recommended)
  • Optional: sliced provolone or cheddar cheese
  • Optional: pickles
  • Optional: horseradish sauce

Instructions

  1. Pat the chuck roast dry and trim excess fat if needed. Sprinkle ranch dressing mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over all sides, pressing gently.
  2. Place softened butter in small dollops on top of the roast. Scatter whole pepperoncini peppers around and on top. Pour pepperoncini juice over everything.
  3. Cover and cook in a slow cooker on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until the meat is fork-tender and shreds easily.
  4. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and shred using two forks, keeping as much juice in the slow cooker as possible. Stir shredded beef back into the juices.
  5. Butter sandwich buns lightly and toast on a skillet or under the broiler until golden brown.
  6. Assemble sandwiches by piling shredded beef onto buns. Add cheese, pickles, or horseradish sauce if desired.
  7. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

Do not open the slow cooker lid frequently during cooking to maintain steady heat. If sauce is too thin after shredding, turn slow cooker to high and reduce uncovered for 15-20 minutes. Buttering and toasting buns prevents sogginess. For a low-carb option, serve over cauliflower rice or lettuce wraps. Can substitute chicken thighs for beef with adjusted cooking times.
