Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 2 ribeye steaks
Seasonings:
- 1 packet ranch dressing seasoning mix
- 1 packet au jus seasoning mix
Liquid and Supporting Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) unsalted beef broth
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) pepperoncini peppers (including some juice)
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) olive oil
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet by heating olive oil over medium-high temperature until shimmering and hot.
- Rapidly sear ribeye steaks for 2-3 minutes per side, creating a rich golden-brown exterior that locks in moisture and develops deep flavor profiles.
- Transfer seared steaks directly into the slow cooker basin, positioning them carefully to ensure even cooking.
- Generously distribute ranch dressing mix and au jus seasoning across the surface of each steak, ensuring complete and uniform coverage.
- Scatter tangy pepperoncini peppers around and between the steaks, including a splash of their zesty juice to enhance overall taste complexity.
- Gently pour beef broth into the slow cooker, creating a moisture-rich environment that will tenderize the meat during cooking.
- Secure the slow cooker lid and set to low temperature for 6-8 hours or high temperature for 3-4 hours, allowing the meat to become supremely tender and infused with robust seasonings.
- Once cooking cycle completes, carefully remove steaks and arrange on serving plates, spooning additional pepperoncini and cooking liquid over the top for maximum flavor intensity.
Notes
- Always choose thick-cut ribeye steaks for maximum tenderness and rich flavor during slow cooking.
- Searing steaks before slow cooking creates a delicious golden crust that locks in juices and enhances overall taste profile.
- Adjust cooking time based on steak thickness; thinner cuts might become dry if cooked for full recommended duration.
- For a healthier version, replace beef broth with low-sodium alternatives and use lean cuts of ribeye to reduce fat content.
