2tbspOlive Oil
1tsp Kosher Salt

1lb Baby Potatoes
5Pepperoncini Peppers, (with the juice)

Instructions
Pat chuck roast dry with a paper towel and season with salt and pepper.
Add olive oil into a large skillet and warm over high heat. Sear the roast on all sides for about 5 minutes, each side, until golden brown.
Place roast into a slow cooker along with carrots, potatoes, beef broth, and pepperoncini peppers. Then add the package of ranch dressing mix, brown gravy mix, and butter on top of the roast. Cook on low heat for 8-10 hours, until the meat is fork tender. Shred and pour the savory juices on top.
Notes
Make sure that the ingredients are submerged in the beef broth.
If using an au jus packet instead of brown gravy mix, keep in mind that the packet of au jus mix has a higher sodium content and will taste pretty salty. You may want to add a bit of water or additional beef broth to dilute the salty flavor.
