Ingredients

6 cube steaks
1 ounce au jus gravy packet
1 ounce ranch seasoning packet
1/3 cup water
8 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into cubes
6 pepperoncini peppers

Instructions

Place 3 of the cube steaks into the bottom of a 8-quart slow cooker.
6 cube steaks
Sprinkle with half of the au jus mix and half of the ranch seasoning mix.
1 ounce au jus gravy packet, 1 ounce ranch seasoning packet
Place the remaining 3 cube steaks on top and sprinkle with the remaining seasonings.
Add the water to the cooker.
1/3 cup water
Place the cubes of butter along with the peppers on top of the steaks.
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, 6 pepperoncini peppers
Close the lid and cook for 6-8 hours on low or 3-4 hours on high. Serve immediately with the sauce as a gravy.

Notes

Pat the Meat Dry: If there’s excess moisture on the steaks, pat them with a paper towel before seasoning to help the rub stick.
Don’t Open the Lid: Slow cookers thrive on consistent heat. Peeking too often can add extra cook time—resist that urge!
Adjust the Heat: If your slow cooker runs hot, you might only need 4 hours on low. If it runs cooler, go for 6 hours. Every crock pot is different.
Try Browning First: If you have an extra few minutes, sear the cubed steaks in a large skillet with a little oil for a golden brown exterior. This step locks in flavor.
Add Extra Pepperoncini: If you’re a fan of tangy flavor, toss in a few more peppers or drizzle in some pepperoncini juice.
Pair It Right: Serve over creamy mashed potatoes, rice, or even toasted bread for a hearty meal that’ll impress your dinner guests.
