Slow Cooker Mississippi Steak Bites

If you love Mississippi pot roast, you will love it as steak bites. Cubes of beef go in the slow cooker with ranch seasoning, au jus mix, butter and a few pepperoncini, and come out fork-tender in a rich, tangy gravy. It is five ingredients and five minutes of work, and it is wonderful over mashed potatoes.

Serving and Storing

Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles or rice. Leftovers keep 4 days in the fridge and freeze well for 3 months.
