Ingredients
- 3-5 pounds beef chuck roast
- salt, to taste
- black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon dried chives
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 6-8 pepperoncini peppers, whole
- 1-2 tablespoons pepperoncini pepper juice
- 4 tablespoons ghee
Directions
Step 1 –Pat the roast dry with a paper towel and generously season all sides with the salt and the pepper.
Step 2 –Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high to high heat until hot and shimmering.
Step 3 –Place the seasoned chuck roast in the skillet and sear until it is a deep golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side. Transfer the chuck roast to the bowl of the slow cooker.
Step 4 –Deglaze the skillet over medium-high heat with 1 cup of beef broth and bring to a boil, scraping up all the brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 5 –Cook the broth until the liquid has reduced by about half, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 6 –Pour the liquid from the skillet over the chuck roast and sprinkle with the chives, the garlic powder, the onion powder, the dill, the salt, and the pepper.
Step 7 –Arrange the peppers around the meat and add 1-2 tablespoons of the juice from the pepper jar.
Step 8 –Top the peppers with the ghee.
Step 9 –Cover the slow cooker and cook until the meat is fork tender, on low heat for 8-10 hours or on high heat for 5-6 hours. If the meat still feels tough, then put the lid back on and cook for an additional 1-2 hours.
Step 10 –Taste for seasoning.
Step 11 –Serve.
