Ingredients
- 1.5 lbs sirloin steak or chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix (or 2 tablespoons homemade ranch seasoning)
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- ½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 5-6 pepperoncini peppers (whole or sliced)
- ¼ cup pepperoncini juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Steak:
- Cut the steak into bite-sized pieces, trimming off any excess fat.
- Add to Slow Cooker:
- Place the steak pieces in the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Season the Steak:
- Sprinkle the ranch seasoning mix, au jus gravy mix, garlic powder, and onion powder over the steak.
- Add the pepperoncini peppers and pour the pepperoncini juice over the steak and seasonings.
- Add the Butter:
- Cut the butter into slices and place it on top of the steak and seasonings.
- Cook:
- Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until the steak is tender and fully cooked.
- If you’re in a rush, you can cook it on high for 3-4 hours, but low and slow is ideal for tender steak.
- Serve:
- Once cooked, stir the steak bites gently to mix them in the sauce. Serve them over mashed potatoes, rice, or with your favorite veggies.
Tips:
- Make it Spicy: Add a few more pepperoncini peppers or some red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
- Add Vegetables: For a complete meal, throw in some baby potatoes or carrots in the slow cooker with the steak to cook alongside.
- Thickening the Sauce: If the sauce is too thin, you can thicken it by mixing 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with 1 tablespoon of water and stirring it into the sauce, then cooking for an additional 15 minutes on high.
