Ingredients

Scale
  • 34 pounds beef chuck roast, trimmed of excess fat
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet (1 oz) au jus gravy mix
  • 68 whole pepperoncini peppers plus 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
  • 1/2 cup beef broth or water
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pats
  • 3 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed (optional)
  • Slider buns or small soft rolls (Hawaiian rolls recommended)
  • Optional: sliced pickles or extra pepperoncini for garnish

Instructions

  1. Trim any large chunks of fat from the chuck roast and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. In a small bowl, mix ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix. Rub seasoning evenly over the roast.
  3. Place the roast in the crockpot. Scatter whole pepperoncini peppers around it, pour pepperoncini juice and beef broth over the top, and dot with butter pats.
  4. Cover and cook on low for 7-8 hours or on high for 4-5 hours until fork-tender.
  5. While the roast cooks, combine shredded cabbage, carrots, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and celery seed in a bowl. Toss well and let sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes to pickle slightly. Refrigerate if prepping ahead.
  6. Remove roast from crockpot and shred with two forks while hot. Return shredded beef to the juices and mix gently to coat.
  7. Slice slider buns in half. Pile on shredded pot roast and top with pickled slaw. Add extra pepperoncini or pickles if desired. Serve warm.

Notes

If cooking juices are too thin, thicken by mixing 1 tablespoon cornstarch with 2 tablespoons cold water and stir into crockpot; cook on high for 15 minutes. For gluten-free, use gluten-free buns or lettuce wraps. Shred roast while hot for easier handling. Pickled slaw can be made ahead and refrigerated. Toast buns lightly for added texture.
