Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 pounds chuck roast
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter (1 stick)
- 6–8 pepperoncini peppers
- 1/4 cup pepperoncini juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Traeger grill to 225°F (107°C) using hickory or mesquite pellets.
- Season the chuck roast lightly with salt and pepper.
- Sear the roast on a hot skillet or directly on the Traeger grates for 2-3 minutes per side to develop a crust (optional for extra flavor).
- Place the roast in a grill-safe Dutch oven or foil pan.
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix evenly over the roast.
- Top with butter, pepperoncini peppers, and pour the pepperoncini juice around the roast.
- Cover with foil or lid and smoke for 6-8 hours, or until the roast is fork-tender and reaches an internal temperature of 200-205°F (93-96°C).
- Shred the beef and mix it into the juices before serving.
Notes
- Use unsalted butter to control saltiness, as seasoning packets can be salty.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or on sandwiches.
- For added smoke flavor, leave the roast uncovered for the first 2-3 hours before covering.
- Leftovers freeze well for easy future meals.
