: <\/strong>Use this tool to\u00a0thicken gravy<\/a> that comes out smooth and lump free.<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\nDirections<\/h3>\r\nStep 1: Put all ingredients in the cooker<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n\r\nPlace the chuck roast or stew beef into the slow-cooker insert. Sprinkle the dry gravy mix and dry ranch dressing mix over the roast, then place the stick of butter on top of the meat. Place the pepperoncini peppers on and around the meat; the more you add, the spicier the roast and gravy will be. Pour 1\/4 cup of water over everything.\r\nStep 2: Cook the roast<\/h4>\r\n
\r\n
Turn the slow cooker on to the low setting, and allow the meat and ingredients to cook for eight hours. When the meat is done, it should be fall-apart tender. (If you choose to use cubed stew beef, it may finish cooking a bit sooner; check after 7-1\/2 hours to see if the meat is tender.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n
