Instructions

Prepare Slow Cooker: Turn your slow cooker to high. Add beef stock, along with the pepperoncini with their juice, chopped onions, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and bay leaf. Stir everything together nicely.
Trim and Season Beef: Cut chuck roast into 6-inch chunks. Season each piece with salt and pepper.
Sear Beef: Heat olive oil in a skillet over high heat. Sear each beef chunk on all sides until caramelized, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Combine in Slow Cooker: Transfer the seared beef to slow cooker in a single layer to absorb flavors.
Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 6 hours until beef is tender and pulls apart easily.
Remove Liquid: Switch cooker to warm. Ladle out cooking liquid, skim off fat, strain solids, and simmer liquid briefly to reduce it.
Shred Beef: Using two forks, pull apart beef into shreds. Arrange on a platter with pepperoncini and onions, and top with shredded cheese.
Finishing Touches: Garnish with fresh parsley, extra pepperoncini, or a drizzle of olive oil.
