Season the chuck roast on all sides with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roast from the skillet and set aside.
Peel and slice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.
In the same skillet, sauté the sliced onion for 3-4 minutes until softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant. Remove from heat.
Place the seared roast into a slow cooker. Add the sautéed onions and garlic on top.
Pour the beef broth and pepperoncini juice into the slow cooker. Sprinkle the dry ranch seasoning mix evenly over the roast.
Place the whole pepperoncini peppers around the roast. Add the unsalted butter on top, cut into small pieces.
Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on low for 8 hours or until the roast is tender and easily falls apart.
Once cooked, shred the roast with two forks directly in the slow cooker, mixing it with the juices and peppers.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve hot alongside mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread for a hearty meal.
