Ingredients
Scale
- 3 to 4 pound boneless beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder or granulated garlic
- 2 teaspoons dried parsley
- 2 teaspoons onion powder or granulated onion
- 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
- 1 teaspoon coarse salt
- ¼ cup beef broth
- ¼ cup liquid from jar of pepperoncini
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon beef bouillon paste (optional)
- 4 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
- 4 to 6 pepperoncini
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Slow Cooker Place the beef chuck roast inside a 6- or 8-quart slow cooker, ensuring it sits flat at the bottom.
- Step 2: Combine Dry Ingredients In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, dried parsley, onion powder, dried dill weed, and coarse salt. Sprinkle this blend evenly over the beef.
- Step 3: Mix Liquids and Cornstarch Whisk the beef broth, pepperoncini liquid, cornstarch, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, and beef bouillon paste in another bowl. Pour this mixture over the seasoned beef, turning the beef once or twice to coat it thoroughly.
- Step 4: Add Final Ingredients Top the roast with the pieces of butter and pepperoncini.
- Step 5: Cook Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 4 to 6 hours. The roast should be fall-apart tender by the end of cooking.
- Step 6: Shred and Serve Remove the pepperoncini from the cooker. Shred the beef using two forks directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the cooking liquids to form a rich gravy. Taste, and if necessary, add additional salt. Add the pepperoncini back if desired, and keep warm until service.
