1 Vidalia onion, chopped
1 stalk celery, sliced
2-3 cloves garlic, minced
6 Pepperoncinis
½ cup of pepperoncini juice
12 ounces of beef broth

1 stick butter, cut into tablespoons
¼ cup WONDRA flour

  • Turn Ninja Foodi on Sauté.

  • When oil is hot, sear roast chunks 3-4 minutes on all sides.

  • Add garlic, stirring for a minute or two more.
  • Add in pepperoncinis and pepperoncini juice.
  • Whisk Hidden Valley Ranch dip mix, Au Jus powder and brown sugar into the beef broth, stirring until all ingredients are combined well. Pour over pepperoncinis.
  • Return the roast chunks to the pot, gently stacking the meat as necessary.
  • Dot roast with 4 tablespoons of butter.
  • Set to braise for 4-6 hours.

 

  • Plate roast on platter, cover and keep warm.
  • Melt remaining butter and whisk in ¼ cup of flour until smooth.
  • Change to saute function and let simmer 3-4 minutes.
  • Whisk in butter and flour mixture to the pot, simmering 3-4 minutes to desired thickness.
