- 3 pounds beef chuck roast
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 4 whole pepperoncini
- 4 cups low sodium beef broth
- ¼ cup juice from jar of pepperoncini
- 16 ounces dried egg noodles
- ¼ cup butter
- Fresh minced parsley for garnish
- Searing the beef is optional, but it boosts flavor.
- Cook beef until it shreds easily with a fork; crockpot temperatures vary.
- Noodles usually take 30 minutes; check at 20 minutes and watch closely.
- You can remove or keep the pepperoncini when adding noodles; they add a tangy zip without making it spicy.
