- 4 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4-6 pepperoncini peppers

- Sprinkle the packet of dry ranch seasoning and a packet of au jus gravy mix over the top of the roast.
- Place the unsalted butter and pepperoncini peppers on top of the seasoned beef roast.

Notes
There is no need to add water or broth to the slow cooker. The roast will make enough juice.
*For a deeper, richer flavor, add half a cup of red wine or dark beer to the slow cooker.
For a complete meal, add carrot chunks, pearl onions, and baby potatoes to the slow cooker at the 6-hour mark of the cooking process. Don't add them too soon or they will be too soft.
