Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ribeye steaks (approximately 1.5 lbs or 680 g)
- 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus gravy mix
- ¼ cup (60 ml) unsalted butter, sliced
- 56 pepperoncini peppers
- ¼ cup (60 ml) pepperoncini juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Seasoning: Gently massage salt and black pepper onto both sides of the ribeye steaks, ensuring an even but light coating to complement the upcoming flavor profiles.
- Slow Cooker Preparation: Arrange steaks in the slow cooker base without overlapping, then sprinkle au jus gravy mix and ranch dressing mix evenly across the meat’s surface.
- Liquid and Fat Incorporation: Pour beef broth carefully around the steaks, strategically place butter atop each piece, and scatter pepperoncini peppers throughout the cooking vessel to enhance moisture and flavor complexity.
- Cooking Process: Cover with lid and simmer on low temperature for 4-5 hours, allowing the steaks to tenderize and absorb the rich, tangy seasonings while maintaining optimal texture.
- Serving: Carefully transfer steaks from the slow cooker, generously drizzle the aromatic cooking liquid over each piece, and optionally garnish with fresh parsley for a vibrant finishing touch.
Notes
- Choose Low-Fat Cuts: Select leaner ribeye steaks to reduce overall fat content without compromising flavor and tenderness.
- Control Sodium Levels: Reduce packaged gravy and ranch mix quantities if monitoring salt intake, or opt for low-sodium alternatives to manage dietary restrictions.
- Precise Cooking Time: Monitor slow cooker closely around 4-hour mark to prevent meat from becoming excessively tender or mushy, maintaining ideal texture and juiciness.
- Customize Spice Tolerance: Adjust pepperoncini pepper quantity based on individual heat preference, removing seeds for milder flavor or adding more for extra kick.
