3. Sprinkle the ranch and au jus seasonings over the top of the steak.
4. Pour the pepperoncini juice around the steaks if using.
5. Place pepperoncini peppers on and around steaks.
6. Add the sliced butter pats on top of the steaks.
7. Cover and cook on low for 5-7 hours, or high for 3-4 hours, until the steak is cooked through and fork tender. (Cooking times will vary depending on the thickness of steaks.)
8. Garnish with fresh parsley. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice, enjoy!
