  • Directions:
  • Sear the Roast: In a large skillet, heat the oil over high heat until very hot. Pat the roast dry with paper towels, season with salt and pepper, and sear in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes on each side until nicely browned.
  • Prepare the Slow Cooker: Transfer the browned roast to the slow cooker. Sprinkle the ranch dressing mix and onion soup mix over the top. Place the stick of butter on the roast, then add the peperoncini peppers around it.
  • Cook: Cover and set the slow cooker on low. Cook for 8 hours, allowing the roast to become tender and infused with the flavors.
  • Shred and Serve: Using two forks, shred the meat in the slow cooker, discarding any large pieces of fat. Stir to mix the meat with the juices and serve hot.
