Description

Mississippi Steak Bites bring tender, succulent beef to life with minimal effort and maximum flavor. Hearty ranch seasoning and rich butter combine to create a mouthwatering dish you’ll crave again and again.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Proteins:

  • 2 lbs (907 grams) beef chuck roast, cut into bite-sized pieces

Seasonings and Flavor Enhancers:

  • 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 packet au jus gravy mix
  • 1/2 cup (113 grams) unsalted butter
  • 68 pepperoncini peppers
  • 1/4 cup (59 milliliters) pepperoncini juice

Instructions

  1. Cut chuck roast into bite-sized pieces, ensuring uniform size for even cooking.
  2. Generously dust meat with ranch seasoning and au jus gravy mix, coating each piece thoroughly.
  3. Strategically position butter slices across the top of the seasoned meat, allowing it to melt during slow cooking.
  4. Distribute pepperoncini peppers evenly throughout the slow cooker, then drizzle pepperoncini juice over the entire mixture.
  5. Secure slow cooker lid and set temperature: low for 6-8 hours or high for 4-5 hours until meat becomes fork-tender and easily pulls apart.
  6. Once cooking completes, gently stir meat to combine juices and ensure even flavor distribution.
  7. Transfer succulent steak bites to a serving platter, spooning remaining pan juices over the top for added moisture and richness.
  8. Pair with complementary sides like mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delectable sauce.

Notes

  • Trim excess fat from chuck roast before cutting into bite-sized pieces for leaner, more tender meat.
  • Use low-sodium seasoning mixes to control salt content and customize flavor intensity.
  • Try different pepper varieties like banana peppers or mild jalapeños for unique taste variations.
  • Allow meat to rest for 10-15 minutes after cooking to help juices redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor.
