2 tbsp unsalted butter
1 cup bell peppers, chopped (red or yellow)

Prepare your ingredients by chopping the onions and bell peppers into bite-sized pieces.
In a hot skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chuck roast on all sides until browned, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared roast to a slow cooker. Sprinkle ranch seasoning and au jus mix evenly over the meat. Add chopped onions and bell peppers around it.

Cook on low for 8 hours or high for 4 hours until the meat is fork-tender.
Shred or slice the roast as desired and serve over mashed potatoes or with crusty bread.
