Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a small bowl, combine dried dill weed, freeze-dried chives, dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, and dry buttermilk. Stir well and set aside.
  2. Rub a generous amount of olive oil onto the boneless beef chuck roast, and season with sea salt and cracked pepper. Sear the roast in a cast iron skillet for 3-5 minutes on each side.
  3. Transfer the roast to your slow cooker. Deglaze the skillet with 1/2 cup of beef broth and pour it over the roast.
  4. Add the remaining beef broth, liquid from the jar of pepperoncini, bouillon paste, and sprinkle the ranch mix over the top. Finish with pepperoncini.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours until the roast reaches 200-205°F.
  6. To thicken the gravy, mix 1/4 cup of cold water with cornstarch and stir into the gravy. Fold in shredded beef.
  7. Serve warm, paired with mashed potatoes or fresh salad.
