Description

Tender chuck roast, au jus seasoning, pepperoncini peppers and butter for a juicy, flavorful beef dinner with just five ingredients that you can make in the slow cooker or the Instant Pot.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 pounds chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 packet au jus dry mix
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/2 of a 16 ounce jar of sliced pepperoncini with juice
  • 2 Tbsp butter

Instructions

Slow Cooker Instructions:

  1. Add roast into slow cooker. Sprinkle the roast with au jus mix and pour in the water and pepperoncinis and juice. Add butter on top of the roast.
  2. Cover and cook on low for 8-12 hours, or until roast is tender. The roast isn’t done until you can easily break it apart with a fork. Cooking time depends on the thickness of the roast and your individual slow cooker. 
  3. Break the roast apart and serve with some of the juices and pepperoncinis from the slow cooker. 

Instant Pot Instructions:

  1. Add roast into Instant Pot. Sprinkle the roast with au just mix and pour in the water and pepperoncinis and juice. Add butter on top of the roast.
  2. Cover Instant Pot and secure the lid. Make sure valve is set to sealing. Set manual/pressure cook button to 90 minutes. When time is up let pot sit for 15 minutes and then move valve to venting. 
  3. Break the roast apart and serve with some of the juices and pepperoncinis from the pot.
