- ½ cup unsalted butter, sliced into pats
- ¼ cup pepperoncini pepper juice (optional)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus seasoning mix

- Add Butter: Place slices of unsalted butter over the steaks.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the steaks are tender and cooked through (cooking time may vary depending on steak thickness).
