Instructions
Start by searing the beef in a hot skillet to create a gorgeous crust on the roast.
Heat a large skillet or cast iron pan over high heat. Rub the roast with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano on both sides. Place the roast into the hot skillet to sear for about 5 minutes on each side.
Place the seared roast into the slow cooker and top with the Italian Seasoning packet, sliced pepperoncini peppers, pepperoncini brine, sliced onions, Calabrian chillis, and hot chillis. Pour beef broth around the beef.
Cook on high for 6 hours or low for 8-10 hours.
Remove the pepper stems, then remove the roast from the crock pot to discard excess fat and shred the beef. Place the shredded beef back into the slow cooker to soak up all the delicious juices before serving.
