Ingredients
- •Beef Chuck Roast(2268g)
- •Au Jus Seasoning, Dry Packet(31g)
- •1 (1 ounce) packet ranch seasoning
- •Butter(90g)
- •Peperoncini, Pickled, Drained
- •½ cup pepperoncini juice
Instructions
- 1Pat the beef chuck roast dry with paper towels and place it in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Season all sides evenly with the au jus seasoning packet.
- 2Heat the pot over medium-high heat and sear the roast on all sides for 3–4 minutes per side, until deeply browned. This builds flavor through caramelization.
- 3Reduce heat to medium-low. Top the roast with the salted butter and peperoncini peppers (including their juice), then cover the pot. Cook for 2.5–3 hours, stirring the liquid around the roast every 45 minutes, until the beef shreds easily with a fork and internal temperature reaches 190°F.
- 4Transfer the roast to a cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes, then shred or pull apart into bite-sized pieces, discarding any large fat deposits. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into a separate container, pressing out the peppers.
- 5Divide the shredded beef evenly into 4 airtight containers while still warm. Pour the strained cooking liquid (about ¾ cup per container) over each portion. Seal and refrigerate.
- 6To serve, reheat each container in the microwave for 2–3 minutes at 50% power, stirring halfway through, until warmed to 165°F. Alternatively, reheat gently in a skillet over medium heat for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
