Ingredients Needed
- Sirloin Steak: The star of the show! Cubed sirloin steak ensures tender chunks of beef that melt in your mouth.
- Unsalted Butter: Adds richness and a creamy texture to the savory gravy.
- Beef Broth: Enhances the dish’s deep, rich flavor and keeps the meat juicy.
- Ranch Seasoning: Provides a tangy, herby kick that pairs perfectly with the beef.
- Au Jus Gravy Mix: A key ingredient for that classic Mississippi roast flavor.
- Pepperoncini Peppers: The secret to the dish’s extra flavor, offering a subtle tangy heat.
substitutions:
- Butter: Swap unsalted butter with olive oil for a lighter option.
- Pepperoncini Peppers: Use banana peppers if you prefer less tang.
- Au Jus Mix: If you’re out of au jus mix, substitute with a packet of onion soup mix for a savory twist.
- Beef Broth: Use chicken broth in a pinch, though it will slightly alter the flavor.
