1

Take a chuck roast and season it with salt and pepper.

Sear the chuck roast for 4-5 minutes on one side, then flip and sear for another 4-5 minutes on the other side, including the sides.

4

In a bowl, combine 2 cups of beef broth made with better than bouillon, 1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce, 1/4 cup soy sauce, and 1 cup Coca-Cola.

Dice one onion and add it to the crock pot along with about 10 sliced peppercinis and the roasted red bell peppers.

Pour the combined broth mixture over the roast in the crock pot.

9

Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours or high for 4-6 hours until the roast is tender and shreds easily.
