📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare the roast. Use a sharp knife to remove any obvious strips of fat on the outside of the roast; they should come off very easily.
2
Optional: To create extra flavor, brown the roast on all sides in a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. Add the oil to the skillet, then place the roast into the skillet, browning for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes, or until the meat releases from the pan. Flip and brown the other side for ⏱️ 3-5 minutes. Finally, use tongs to brown the thinner sides of the roast.
oil (optional)1 tablespoon
3
Deglaze the pan. Remove the roast from the skillet and pour in 1 cup of beef broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits with the bottom of a wooden spoon. Remove from heat.
beef broth (use just ½ cup if you do not brown the roast)1 cup
4
Seasoning. Place the roast into the slow cooker and sprinkle it on all sides with the ranch dressing and au jus mixes. Pour in the liquid from deglazing (or ½ cup of beef broth if you did not brown the roast first).

Add pepperoncini peppers (without the juices/pickling liquid).
6
Cut the butter into 5 pieces and scatter them over the top of the roast.

7
Cook on low. Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for ⏱️ 8-9 hours.
8
Once the meat is fully cooked (with a minimum internal temperature of 145ºF/63ºC), remove it from the crock and set it on a large platter or cutting board.
9
Shred and soak. Shred the meat, then return it to the liquid to soak up the juices for ⏱️ 5-10 minutes.
10
Serve with your choice of mashed potatoes, rice, cooked noodles, or your favorite side dishes. It also makes for fabulous sandwiches!
