Servings: 6
Calories: 330kcal
Ingredients
- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons juice from the pepperoncini jar
- 4-5 pepperoncini peppers (mild)
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small squares
Instructions
- In a small bowl, combine the dried parsley, dill weed, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Pat the chuck roast dry with a paper towel, then rub the seasoning blend generously over all sides of the roast, pressing it in so it sticks.
- Set the chuck roast in the bottom of your slow cooker. Pour the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and pepperoncini jar juice around the base of the roast, not over the top, so the seasoning stays put.
- Arrange the pepperoncini peppers around and on top of the roast, then scatter the small squares of butter evenly over the top.
- Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for 8–10 hours, until the roast is fall-apart tender and shreds easily with two forks.
- Use two forks to shred the roast directly in the slow cooker, then toss it in the juices at the bottom. After you shred the meat, let it sit in the juices for 15-20 minutes to soak up more flavor.
Notes
- Save time/prep ahead: Mix your dry seasoning blend (parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) up to a week in advance and store it in a small jar so it's ready to rub on the beef during a busy morning.
