Step 1

Optional step: sear steaks for a couple minutes per side in a large skillet over medium high heat with some oil or a tablespoon of butter. (You do not need to cook the steaks through, just sear to lock in extra flavor.)

Step 2

Add steaks to the bottom of a 5 quart or larger slow cooker.

Step 3

Sprinkle the ranch and au jus seasonings over the top of the steak.

Step 4

Pour the pepperoncini juice around the steaks if using.

Step 5

Place pepperoncini peppers on and around steaks.

Step 6

Add the sliced butter pats on top of the steaks.

Step 7

Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is cooked through and fork tender. (Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of steaks.)

Step 8

Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice, enjoy!
