Our apologies for the omission, the recipe will be updated soon. In the meantime, the jars of pepperoncinis should be poured over the top of the beef.

I think that was this website's error not the author's. I have this recipe which was in one of their publications and it says layer the beef,peppers and onions in slow cooker. Hope that helps :) I used one 16 ounce jar of peppers because I could not find the 11 1/2 ounce size and I had slightly less than 2 lbs of beef. It was tasty but the beer taste definitely got stronger on the 2nd and third day of leftovers which I didn't especially care for.

I would like to try this recipe but I've noticed the author left out the pepperoncini peppers in the directions!!!! I assume they go in the slow cooker.....?
