Oh, Steam is on Android now?

Only via Steam Link. It might work even better streaming from your own PC than the Netflix version.

Except for when I'm out of the house

Still works over the Internet once it is paired since about 2018's Remote Play Anywhere. I think you don't even need to open ports in your router anymore (not super sure about it).
Or you can use a rented PC (like Liquidsky, Paperspace and Shadow) if your home internet has to little upstream like so: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1398383317
Steam really needs to explain it better. I couldn't find a definite feature or requirements list. The FAQ only mentions that it might work with cellular data:

Can I use the Steam Link app with my cellular network? Using Remote Play Anywhere with your cellular network may work, depending on the policies of your cellular provider.
