Equipment

  • Dutch Oven

Ingredients
  

  • 4-5 Pound Chuck Roast
  • 3 Tablespoons Ranch Seasoning

  • ½ Cup Pepperoncini Peppers, with Juice
  • 2 Tablespoons Butter softened
  • 1 Tablespoon Beef Tallow softened
  • 1 Cup Beef Broth

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ranch seasoning, au jus, and beef seasoning in a bowl and mix to combine.
  • Trim excess fat from the beef then rub the roast down with 1 tablespoon of the butter and the tallow.
  • Liberally season the roast with the seasoning rub, reserving the excess seasoning.
