Ingredients

3 pounds chuck roast, excess fat trimmed ($26.01)
1 jar (12 ounces) pepperoncini peppers, with juice ($1.97)
1 packet (1 ounce) ranch seasoning ($0.54)
1 packet (1 ounce) onion soup mix ($0.49)
½ cup beef broth, low sodium ($0.13)

Instructions

Optional sear. Searing is optional. If desired, heat the Instant Pot on Sauté or a skillet over medium-high heat with a small amount of oil. Sear the chuck roast about 2 minutes per side until lightly browned.
Pressure cook. Place the chuck roast in the Instant Pot. Add pepperoncini peppers with juice, ranch seasoning, onion soup mix, and beef broth. Use the full jar of peppers for more heat or reduce for milder flavor. Secure the lid, seal the vent, and cook on High Pressure for 65 minutes.
Release pressure. Allow a 10-minute natural pressure release, then carefully vent remaining pressure.
Shred. Remove the roast to a cutting board and shred with two forks. Return the shredded beef to the pot and stir to coat evenly in the juices.
Serve. Scoop and serve as desired.

Notes

Recipe Tips. Chuck roast gives the most tender results. Use low-sodium or homemade seasonings to control salt. If using homemade ranch, use about 2 tablespoons.
Cooking Options. Slow cooker on Low for 8 hours or High for 4 to 5 hours. Instant Pot averages about 20 minutes per pound with at least 1 to 1 ½ cups liquid.
Storage & Make-Ahead. Store in the refrigerator up to 4 days or freeze up to 3 months. Can be prepped as a freezer meal without liquid or cooked, shredded, and reheated with broth.
Spice Variations. Reduce pepperoncini for less heat or swap with banana peppers, jalapeños, or dill pickles for a different flavor profile.
