🕰️ History of Steak Bites

Steak has been enjoyed for centuries, especially in Europe and America, where beef became a staple food. Steak bites became popular as a modern comfort food because they cook faster and are easier to eat than whole steaks.

The crockpot, invented in the 1940s and popularized in the 1970s, made it possible to cook tough cuts of beef slowly, transforming them into tender, flavorful meals.

This recipe combines traditional steak cooking with modern slow cooking convenience.
