This is by far the best pot roast I’ve ever had, and you HAVE to make it. It is keto with almost zero carbs and with enough kick to make it even more delicious. I don’t care much for leftovers but I’m dreaming about this every day. It is so easy to make, almost no prep time. This recipe calls for a slow cooker which I don’t have, but I have an oven which worked very well here. Read the notes before you start.
Ingredients:
Serves 10
3.5lbs – 4lbs chuck roast, I used prime chuck roast from @vincentsmeatmarket
2T Hidden Valley ranch dressing powder
1 packet McCormick Au Jus gravy
10 peperoncini, I used Golden Greek Whole by Mezzetta
¼ c juice from the pepperoncini
1 stick of butter (4oz)
How to:
- Preheat your oven at 275F
- Place the meat in a dutch oven
- Add everything else
- Cover and bake for 5 to 7 hours depending on your oven.
- Enjoy!
Notes:
1. Do not add any salt or pepper as it will be salty on each own and spicy enough. You can always add at the end if you feel it is not up to your liking
2. If you don’t find Au Jus gravy, you can use French dip seasoning instead
3. Depending how fatty your meat is, you can use ½ the butter BUT one thing I did, I used the whole stick and then the next day that it was cooled I scraped it and saved it in a jar. Best way to use on other dishes with all these flavors combined.
4. The meat should almost fall apart when ready, if it doesn’t leave it in the over a little longer.
