Ingredients

2 tablespoons neutral oil Such as canola, avocado, or vegetable
2-3 pound chuck roast
1 tablespoon Revolution Barbecue Texas Beef BBQ Rub
1 packet ranch dressing mix
1 packet dry onion soup mix
1 stick salted butter
8 pepperoncini peppers plus more for serving
1 cup beef stock

Instructions

Set your Insta-Pot or slow cooker to the sauté or sear setting. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat until it’s really hot – ideal for searing the beef quickly.
Dry both sides of the chuck roast with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, add the roast and sear for about 2-3 minutes on each side, using tongs to flip it.
Transfer the seared meat to your slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and dry onion soup mix over the roast. Pour in the beef stock.
Place the stick of salted butter on top of the roast, then add the pepperoncini peppers around it.
Cover the cooker and set it to cook on low for 8 hours. Remember, patience is key – do not open the lid during this time.
After 8 hours, uncover the pot roast. Using two forks, shred the meat, discarding any large fatty pieces.
Serve the shredded pot roast with additional pepperoncini peppers if desired.
