Steps:

• Pat the chuck roast dry between a few paper towels, then season all over with 2 teaspoons salt and a few good grinds of black pepper.
• Set the Instant Pot® to saute on high (see Cook's Note). Heat the oil until shimmering but not smoking, then add the roast. Cook until well browned on both sides, about 6 minutes per side. Remove to a plate using tongs.
• Add the beef broth to the pot, then scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Stir in the ranch seasoning mix until just dissolved. Return the roast to the pot (it's okay if the roast is not fully submerged in the broth). Scatter the pepperoncini on top.
• Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set to pressure cook on high for 55 minutes. After the pressure cook-cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for a natural release. After 10 minutes, being careful of any remaining steam, unlock and remove the lid. Transfer the roast to a cutting board using tongs, leaving the broth in the pot. Shred the beef using 2 forks, discarding any large pieces of fat.
• Use a large spoon or small ladle to skim off as much fat as possible from the pot. Add the shredded beef back to the pot and stir to combine. Serve with mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function.
• Combine salt, marjoram, rosemary, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and paprika in a small bowl. Rub mixture all over roast to coat all sides.
• Drizzle oil into the preheated pot. Wait 30 seconds, then place roast into the pot; do not move the meat, allowing it to sear for 3 or 4 minutes. Turn the roast and sear again, 3 to 4 minutes. Repeat until all sides are browned, about 15 minutes total.
• Add potatoes, carrots, and onion to the pot. Pour in broth and Worcestershire sauce. Close and lock the lid; set vent to sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 60 minutes for a 3-pound roast or 80 minutes for a 5-pound roast. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions for 10 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid.
• Transfer roast, potatoes, carrots, and onions to a platter for serving.

Steps:

• Press SAUTE button on Instant Pot and allow pot to heat up.
• Add olive oil and let it heat up for 1-2 minutes.
• Add beef roast and sear on one side for 4 minutes. Flip roast over and sear other side for 4 minutes.
• Pour beef broth in the bottom and use a wooden spoon or spatula to scrape and loosen any cooked bits on the bottom of the pan (but keep them in the pan because they will add so much flavor!).
• Pour in the pepperoncini juice and sprinkle both the dry ranch dressing mix and dry brown gravy mix on top of the roast.
• Add the peppers (put on top of and around the roast) and butter on top of the roast.
• Put your lid on the pot and put the VALVE on sealing (not venting). Press the MANUAL (or PRESSURE COOK) button and set timer for 60 minutes (or 20 minutes per pound of your roast).
• When timer is finished, let pressure do a NATURAL RELEASE (it will take at least 20 minutes).
• Shred or slice roast (it should fall apart pretty easily) and serve.
