Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 lbs (907 grams) beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
- 6 – 8 pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) pepperoncini juice
Instructions
- Cut chuck roast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
- Generously dust meat with ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix, coating each piece thoroughly.
- Strategically position butter slices across the top of the seasoned meat, allowing it to melt during slow cooking.
- Distribute pepperoncini peppers evenly throughout the slow cooker, then drizzle pepperoncini juice over the entire mixture.
- Secure slow cooker lid and set temperature: low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until meat becomes fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
- Once cooking completes, gently stir meat to combine juices and ensure even flavor distribution.
- Transfer succulent steak bites to a serving platter, spooning remaining pan juices over the top for added moisture and richness.
- Pair with complementary sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delectable sauce.
Notes
- Trim excess fat from chuck roast before cutting into bite-sized pieces for leaner, more tender meat.
- Use low-sodium seasoning mixes to control salt content and customize flavor intensity.
- Try different pepper varieties like banana peppers or mild jalapeños for unique taste variations.
- Allow meat to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to help juices redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.
