Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the beef chuck roast and sear on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, dried dill, and paprika.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over the browned roast.
Transfer the roast to a slow cooker. Pour the low sodium beef broth around the sides of the roast in the slow cooker.
Place unsalted butter on top of the roast, then add the pepperoncini peppers around the roast.
Add the carrots, potatoes, and celery around the roast in the slow cooker.
Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low setting for 8 hours, or until the meat is tender and falls apart easily.
Once cooked, carefully remove the roast from the slow cooker and shred the meat using two forks.
Serve the shredded roast with the vegetables and a drizzle of the cooking juices from the slow cooker.
