Ingredients
  
For the Roast:
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons black pepper, coarse ground
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 3 pounds chuck roast
  • 4 tablespoons butter, unsalted
  • 1 jar whole pepperoncinis, drained
  • 1 yellow onion, finely sliced
  • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 4 tablespoons sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced, about four cloves
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
 
  • Combine flour, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl; then use it to coat the beef.
  • Warm oil in an Instant Pot on saute mode. Then, add the roast and sear it on each side for 4-5 minutes.
  • Add butter, onions, and pepperoncini. Then, place the lid on the pot but DO NOT secure it - simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, combine the ingredients for the ranch dressing in a small bowl and use a whisk to emulsify. Remove the lid from the pot and add the dressing.
  • Secure the lid, and set the Instant Pot to manual high pressure for 70 minutes with a 10-minute natural release. Remove the beef and let it rest on a cutting board for 10-15 minutes.
  • Use two forks to shred the meat and transfer it to a serving dish with some of the juices from the Instant Pot.
Notes
Expert Tips:
  • Sear the chuck roast in oil to create a tasty crust. You can skip this step if you're in a hurry, but taking the time to do so imparts flavor.
  • Let the meat rest for 10-15 minutes before shredding it; doing so allows the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it tender and juicy.
