Chef's Note
To make this in the oven, preheat the oven to 325°F. Sear the roast and place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the ranch and au jus seasoning. Cut the butter into pieces and arrange all over the roast along with the Mezzetta® Golden Greek Peperoncini and the Mezzetta Cocktail Onions. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 2 to 3 hours or until meat is fork tender.
