Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 jar (16 oz) pepperoncini peppers, with juice
- 1 onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chuck roast with salt and pepper, then sear each side for 3–4 minutes until beautifully browned.
- Transfer the roast to the slow cooker. Add the sliced onion, minced garlic, and the entire jar of pepperoncini (including the juice).
- Mix the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and chopped rosemary in a small bowl. Pour evenly over the roast and vegetables.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 8–10 hours or HIGH for 4–6 hours, until the beef is fork-tender.
- Let the roast rest for a few minutes, then shred and serve with the pepperoncini-onion mixture spooned over the top.
Notes
- For extra richness, add 2 tablespoons of butter during the last hour of cooking.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, stir in a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon cornstarch + 1 tablespoon water) and cook on high for 20 minutes.
- This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors deepen.
