Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2-3 pounds beef chuck roast (Halal certified) A tender cut of beef ideal for slow cooking.
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter Adds richness to the dish.
  • 4-6 pieces pepperoncini peppers (with some juice for added flavor) Gives the roast a tangy flavor.
  • 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning (homemade) Seasoning that enhances flavor.
  • 1 packet au jus seasoning (homemade) Seasoning that enhances flavor.
Homemade Ranch Dressing Seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Homemade Au Jus Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (Halal)

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by lightly salting and peppering the beef chuck roast, enhancing its flavor even before cooking.
  2. Place the roast in your slow cooker, making sure it fits nicely.
  3. Pour in the ranch dressing seasoning and au jus seasoning. Then, add in the pepperoncini peppers, including some of their juice, and place the butter on top.
Cooking
  1. Cover and set your slow cooker to low for about 8 hours—no peeking!
  2. Once finished, the roast will practically fall apart. Shred it with two forks and mix everything gently.
Serving
  1. Serve it hot, perhaps with some mashed potatoes or on warm bread.

Notes

If you can't find pepperoncini peppers, banana peppers are a great alternative. Stick to the cooking time for best results. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days in the refrigerator.
