Ingredients
3-4 lbs. Boneless chuck roast or top or bottom round roast,
8 to 12 Pepperoncinis
1/4 c. All-purpose flour
1/2 tsp. Dill weed
1/4 tsp. Hungarian sweet paprika
2 tsp. Kosher salt, plus more to taste
1 1/2 tsp. Freshly ground Tellicherry black pepper (plus more to taste)
2 tsp. Apple cider vinegar
3 TBS. Canola oil (or other neutral oil)
1 tsp. Buttermilk, optional
2 TBS. Mayonnaise
4 TBS.Unsalted butter
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions
Special Utensils:
Slow Cooker, fat separator (optional)
Choice of side dish:Potatoes, egg noodles, sandwich rolls
Directions:
1. Rub salt and pepper all over the roast. Sprinkle the flour all over the seasoned meat and massage it into the flesh.
2. Heat the oil in a large pan set over high heat until it is shimmering and about to smoke. Place the roast in the pan and brown on all sides, 4 to 5 minutes a side, to create a crust. Remove roast from pan and place it in the bowl of a slow cooker. Add the butter and the pepperoncini to the meat. Put the lid on the slow cooker, and set the machine to low.
3. As the roast heats, make a ranch dressing. Combine the mayonnaise, vinegar, dill and paprika in a small bowl and whisk to emulsify. Add the buttermilk if using, then whisk again.
4. Remove the lid from the slow cooker and add the dressing. Replace the top and allow to continue cooking, undisturbed, for 6 to 8 hours, or until you can shred the meat easily using 2 forks.
5. When meat is cooked through, pour and strain any juices and liquid into a fat separator. Shred the meat and add the strained liquid and 2-3 TBS of fat back into the shredded beef.
6. Mix the meat with the gravy surrounding it. Garnish with parsley, and serve with egg noodles or roast potatoes, or pile on sandwich rolls, however you like.
