The dish consists of [bite-sized crab cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fungitarian-crab-cakes) encrusted with crunchy panko crumbs. The new Crab Cake Bites are served with the brand’s very own remoulade sauce, which is a cold European sauce that's based on mayonnaise and tastes similar to tartar sauce. Along with the new Crab Cake Bites, Outback Steakhouse is also bringing back the fan-favorite entree, Peppercorn Short Rib. Originally introduced back in June, the Peppercorn Short Rib features slow-roasted short rib served over homestyle mashed potatoes and topped with peppercorn sauce.
