Lightly coat the inside of the slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
Arrange the Ingredients:
Place the boneless beef chuck roast in the bottom of the slow cooker. Evenly sprinkle the onion soup mix and dry ranch dressing mix over the meat. Add the butter in pieces, distributing it across the roast. Scatter the pepperoncini peppers around the meat, and pour the juice evenly over the top.
Cook the Roast:
Cover the slow cooker with its lid. Cook on low for 8 to 10 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours, ensuring the meat is fully tender and infused with the seasonings.
Shred the Beef:
Once the cooking time is complete, remove the lid and allow the roast to rest for approximately 10 minutes. Use two forks to gently shred the beef directly in the slow cooker. The meat will absorb the flavorful liquid as you shred.
Serve:
Serve the shredded beef hot with your preferred sides, such as mashed potatoes or crusty bread.
