Here’s a ridiculously simple 3-ingredient slow cooker beef that turns out rich, tender, and full of flavor.
🥩 3-Ingredient Slow Cooker Beef
Ingredients
- 2–3 lbs raw beef chuck, cut into large cubes
- 1 packet dry onion soup mix
- 1 cup beef broth
- ½ cup pepperoncini peppers (with a splash of the juice)
(That’s it!)
Instructions
- Place raw cubed beef in the slow cooker.
- Sprinkle the dry onion soup mix evenly over the top.
- Pour in beef broth and add pepperoncini + 1–2 tbsp of the juice.
- Cover and cook:
- Low: 8 hours
- High: 4–5 hours
- Shred slightly or serve in chunks with the juices spooned over.
Why It’s So Good
- Onion soup mix = instant savory depth
- Pepperoncini = tangy, slightly zesty kick
- Slow cooking = ultra-tender, fall-apart beef
How to Serve
- Over mashed potatoes
- In toasted hoagie rolls with melted provolone
- Over rice
- In tacos with shredded cheese
