## Instructions
### 1. Season the Steaks
Lightly season the ribeye steaks with **salt and pepper** on both sides. (Remember, the seasoning packets already contain sodium, so go easy on the salt.)
### 2. Layer in the Slow Cooker
Place the ribeyes in the bottom of the **slow cooker**. Sprinkle the **ranch** and **au jus** seasoning packets over the steaks. Add the **butter**, placing it in pats across the top, and toss in the **pepperoncini peppers** (and juice, if using).
### 3. Cook Low and Slow
Cover and cook on **LOW for 6–7 hours** or on **HIGH for 3–4 hours**, until the steaks are fork-tender and infused with flavor.
> 💡 **Optional step**: For extra flavor and texture, you can sear the ribeye steaks in a hot skillet for 1–2 minutes per side before placing them in the slow cooker.
### 4. Serve & Savor
Carefully remove the steaks (they’ll be super tender!) and serve with your favorite sides. Spoon some of that savory Mississippi gravy over the top for an extra kick of flavor.
