Expert Tips and Tricks

For extra sear, brown the steak bites first – This locks in more flavor!
Don’t skip the butter – It’s what makes the dish so rich and delicious.
Control the heat – Add more or fewer pepperoncini depending on your spice preference.

Recipe Variations and Possible Substitutions

Make it spicier – Add some crushed red pepper flakes or a splash of hot sauce.
Use chuck roast – If you can’t find stew meat or sirloin, chuck roast works great too.
Go low-carb – Serve over cauliflower mash or roasted veggies.

Serving and Pairing Suggestions

These Mississippi steak bites go great with:

Mashed potatoes – The buttery sauce soaks right in!
Rice or egg noodles – A simple but delicious base.
Roasted veggies – Something fresh to balance the richness.
Dinner rolls – For soaking up every last bit of sauce.

Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave with a splash of beef broth.
Freeze for later – The steak bites freeze well for up to 3 months.
