So it will be good for me to tell you early on that I AM A PINTEREST ADDICT! And the main thing I pin is food. So many of the recipes you will see on my blog I have found on pinterest. That being said I got this recipe from: http://www.lifetimemoms.com/food-family-recipes/blog/flank-steak-recipe?cmpid=CNP_LTMAffil_ShannonShaffer
Even though the recipe has green chiles in it, we used half of the can, it was not spicy at all and just sooo deliciously flavorful! It has to be noted that my husband called this recipe “melt in your mouth flank steak” so needless to say it was a hit!
Prep: 15-20 minutes
Cook: 4-6 hours depending on whether you want it sliced or shredded
Ingredients:
- 1 Flank Steak – about 1 3/4 lbs (cut in half)
- 1 small can of green chiles (we just used half)
- 1 large red onion, chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon of chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon of cumin
- 1/2 cup of water
- 1 tbsp of olive oil
- 1-2 cloves of garlic minced (depending on taste)
Directions:
In a small pan, brown flank steak in olive oil on both sides.
Add all ingredients to slow cooker.
Cook on low for 4-5 hours if you would like the steak sliced, cook 5-6 hours if you prefer it shredded. (Seriously can it get any easier? Gotta love this recipe!)
Yields: 8 servings
We had this flank steak with our favorite Summertime Mac & Cheese and Oven Roasted Broccoli (both on the blog). I was in the kitchen for awhile (on and off the last two hours before we ate) though so if you want something quick and easy I would do a side of bread and green beans or a salad.
My parents have their leftover flank steak on sourdough bread with dijon mustard the next day…I highly suggest trying this…it’s awesome!
