Ingredients
  

For the Roast
  • 2-4 pounds chuck roast The star of the dish, providing rich flavor and tender texture when slow-cooked.
  • 1 packet ranch dressing mix Adds savory depth; try homemade ranch seasoning for a fresh twist.
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix Enhances the overall richness and flavor profile of the roast.
For the Kick
  • 8 whole pepperoncini peppers Adds a tangy heat; banana peppers can be a milder alternative.
  • 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice Optional for more tang; omit if you prefer a less acidic flavor.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1/2 cup butter Works wonders in creating a luscious sauce; use plant-based butter for a dairy-free option.
