This slow-cooked roast starts with a well-seared chuck roast, browned until it develops a deep crust before it goes low and slow in the crockpot. Tangy pepperoncini and their brine work their way into every fiber of the meat as it cooks for hours, turning fork-tender and packed with that signature sharp, savory tang. Layered seasonings build a rich, gravy-like sauce right in the slow cooker, so by the time you shred the beef, it's already soaked in flavor. Ladle those drippings back over the shredded meat and you get juicy, tender beef that practically falls apart on the fork. Pile it over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or a warm roll and you've got a hearty, satisfying dinner. It's a solid pick for a dairy free table, with all the comfort-food payoff of the original.

Pat the chuck roast dry with paper towels and season all over with the salt and pepper. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the roast and sear, undisturbed, for 3–4 minutes per side until a deep brown crust forms on each side.
Transfer the seared roast to a 6-quart slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix and au jus gravy mix evenly over the top of the roast.
