Delicious and tender Mississippi Steak Bites slow-cooked to perfection, featuring succulent sirloin chunks combined with a savory blend of au jus gravy, ranch seasoning, and tangy pepperoncini peppers for a flavorful and hearty meal perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Steak Bites

  • 3 pounds sirloin steak, cut into bite-sized chunks
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, for searing beef

Seasonings and Sauce

  • 1 onion, diced
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 ounce envelope au jus gravy mix
  • 1 ounce ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 stick butter (8 tablespoons)
  • 1 cup beef broth (low sodium or unsalted)
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoncini peppers
  • ¼ cup pepperoncini juice

Instructions

  1. Sear the Steak: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, sear the sirloin steak bites for 2-3 minutes on each side until they are nicely browned. This step locks in the juices and adds a rich flavor. Remove the steak bites and transfer them to your crockpot.
  2. Add Ingredients to Crockpot: On top of the seared steak bites in the crockpot, add the diced onions, minced garlic, au jus gravy mix, ranch seasoning mix, butter, sliced pepperoncini peppers with their juice, and the beef broth. These ingredients give the dish its signature savory, tangy flavor.
  3. Slow Cook the Steak Bites: Cover the crockpot with the lid and cook on low heat for 6-8 hours or on high heat for 3-4 hours. Slow cooking tenderizes the steak and allows all the flavors to meld together beautifully.
  4. Stir and Serve: Before serving, give the contents a good stir to combine all the flavors. Serve hot with your choice of sides.

Notes

  • For best flavor, use fresh pepperoncini juice rather than bottled if available.
  • Sirloin steak is preferred for tenderness, but other cuts can be used if cut properly.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the flavorful sauce.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop or microwave.
  • Adjust cooking time according to your slow cooker’s heat settings and steak chunk size.
