# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 225 g wide egg noodles
02 - 115 g unsalted butter, cut into pieces
03 - 225 g jarred pepperoncini peppers with the liquid
04 - 900 g beef chuck roast, cut into bite-size pieces and trimmed
05 - 28 g au jus gravy mix
06 - 28 g ranch seasoning blend

→ Garnishes

07 - Extra pepperoncini peppers, if you want more
08 - 10 g chopped fresh parsley

# Instructions:

01 - Spoon beef and juices over your noodles on plates. Scatter fresh parsley and a few more peppers on top if you like.
02 - Grab two forks and pull the beef apart right in the slow cooker. Mix it right into the sauce so all those flavors stick.
03 - About half an hour before your beef is done cooking, boil a big pot of salted water. Cook the egg noodles following the directions until just tender. Pour off all the water.
04 - Pop the lid on and let that go on low for 8 hours. The beef should fall right apart when it's ready.
05 - Place slices of butter smack on the beef, then toss in those pepperoncini peppers plus all their juice.
06 - Put the beef pieces right into the bottom of your slow cooker. Toss both seasoning mixes right over the top.

# Notes:

01 - Want your sauce thicker? Mix 2 tablespoons each of cornstarch and water, then stir into the sauce for the last 30 minutes of cook time.
02 - It's cool to swap out egg noodles for another pasta shape. Just check the package and boil them for the time they need.
