SLOW COOKED MEXICAN STYLE SHREDDED FLANK STEAK

Slow Cooked Mexican Style Shredded Flank Steak image

I use this delicious tender flank steak for stuffing enchiladas. The taste of the seasoning is quite spicy but oh so good. Nothing is wasted in this dish, the liquid from the stock goes into the oven as sauce for the baked enchiladas. All credit for the seasoning goes to Potsie's recipe for Mucho Gusto Taco Seasoning #199955

Time 9h10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

1 1/2 lbs flank steaks, thinly sliced and all fat removed
1 green bell pepper, de-seeded, cut into long strips
1 tablespoon cooking oil
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 1/2-2 cups water (or stock, just enough to cover meat)

Steps:

Layer the sliced flank steak in a slow cooker, chop the onion and add to the cooker.
Next add your seasonings and cover with the water or stock. Cook on low for 9hrs.
2hrs before the meat is cooked, in a skillet add the tablespoon of oil and gently fry the green pepper strips.
When partially cooked add the strips to the slow cooker.
Take 2 forks and shred meat in the cooker, reserving the stock to use as a sauce for baked enchiladas, taco's, burritos, etc.

Tips:

Choose a flank steak that is about 1 1/2 pounds and at least 1 inch thick.
To make the marinade, whisk together olive oil, orange juice, lime juice, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
Place the flank steak in the marinade and turn to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
When you're ready to cook the steak, remove it from the marinade and pat it dry. Season the steak with additional salt and pepper, if desired.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the steak and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until the steak is cooked to your desired doneness.
Let the steak rest for a few minutes before slicing it against the grain.
Serve the shredded flank steak with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or tortillas.
