Instructions
1.
Swirl canola oil in a sauté pan and heat over medium-high heat. Once hot, sear each side of the roast for 3-4 minutes, resisting the urge to wiggle it around in the pan. Leave it be, that will make your sear perfect! Flipping with metal tongs is easiest because the roast is a bit heavy.
2.
Transfer the chuck roast to your crock pot. Using a whisk, deglaze the sauté pan with the pepperoncini juice. Remove the pan from the heat.
3.
Sprinkle the roast with ranch and brown gravy seasoning (or au jus) packets.
4.
Pour the pepperoncini juice from the sauté pan over the top of your chuck roast and dot it with butter. Add the pepperoncini on top.
5.
Cook on low for 8-10 hours. Check the meat at the 8-hour mark with a fork. If it falls apart easily, it's done!
