Best Beef Roast Slow Cooker/Crockpot/Ninja
- 3 lb Beef chuck roast (3-4 pound) if you use smaller one, just use half the ingredients in recipe
- 1 packages McCormick Au Jus Gravy envelope pack
- 1 packages Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix dressing envelope pack
- 1 jar (MT. Olive Pepperoncini Peppers.regular not hot *Use only about 5 peppers, and ALSO reserve some of the juice from jar.
- 1 Yellow onion- sliced in strips
- 3/4 cup Water-the water is better to me, since this roast gives off its own broth. And it makes a lot of gravy, and broth with the water, broth from roast cooking, and then the 3 packets that go in it too. So use water, and not any type of can broth.
- 1/2 cup of pepperoncini juice from jar-this really gives it the best flavor to the gravy. These peppers and juice are not hot, make sure you get regular.
- 1 stick UNSALTED BUTTER-you can use less, but use Atleast half a stick. It's better using a whole stick though.
- 1/2 envelope Beefy Onion soup mix. You can also use just the regular French onion soup mix one, if you can't find the beefy onion soup one. 1 or 2 envelope packs come in a box, just use 1/2 of one envelope from the box.
- Season both sides of roast with meat tenderizer, garlic powder and onion powder and sear it on stovetop until it's got that brown color on both sides.
- And then put it into your slow cooker/crockpot.
- I have a ninja so I can just that on my stovetop function, in the same pot I'm gonna cook it in.
- Add the water and pepper juice to pot.
- Also, the sliced onions.
- Now...sprinkle all on the roast, and around it - the 1 pack of McCormick Au Jus Gravy packet first, the 1 pack of Hidden Valley ranch packet, and then the beefy onion soup mix packet on roast.
- Then lay the whole stick of butter on top of the roast.
- Then scatter the peppers on top of the roast, all around the butter.
- Cook on high 4-6 hours or low 6-8 hours.
