WHAT CUT OF STEAK IS THE BEST TO USE?

Sirloin steak is a great choice for this recipe because it’s tender and flavorful when cooked in the slow cooker.

It makes the perfect little steak bites.

However, you can also use other cuts of beef like top sirloin or Chuck Roast.

It’s just a good idea to choose a cut that becomes tender during the slow cooking process.

It really doesn’t have to be a good steak to work well in the slow cooker. That’s part of its magic!

Cuts I do not suggest slow cooking with these more expensive cuts:

• Filet Mignon
• Ribeye Steak
• New York Strip Steak (NY strip)
• Flank Steak
• Tri-tip Steak

WHAT IS “MISSISSIPPI”?

“Mississippi” in this recipe refers to the combination of flavors inspired by the famous Mississippi Pot Roast.

Basically, it means amazing flavor!

The use of au jus gravy mix, ranch seasoning, and pepperoncini peppers is a hallmark of this style, creating a savory and tangy dish that’s both comforting and delicious.

Next time you’re making something in the crock pot, consider doing it Mississippi style.
