SLOW COOKED MEXICAN STYLE SHREDDED FLANK STEAK
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

SLOW COOKER FLANK STEAK
Steps:
- Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray, then pour in olive oil. Set aside.
- In a medium sized bowl, whisk together brown sugar, chili powder, ranch mix, paprika, salt, and cayenne. This is our spice rub.
- Rub a few spoonfuls of the spice rub onto the steak to fully coat it.
- Place steak into the prepared crockpot, then sprinkle on remaining spice rub.
- Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
- Remove steak from the crockpot and use a sharp knife to slice it into strips against the grain (this will basically shred your steak, but will prevent it from creating long and stringy pieces).
- Serve as desired - on a bun, in a quesadilla, over mashed potatoes, on top of Mac and cheese, as nachos, etc. with a drizzle of homemade honey mustard sauce, if desired!

Tips:
- Choose a flank steak that is at least 1 1/2 inches thick. This will ensure that the steak remains juicy and flavorful after cooking.
- To save time, you can marinate the steak overnight or for up to 24 hours. However, if you are short on time, you can also marinate the steak for just 30 minutes.
- If you don't have a slow cooker, you can also cook the steak in a Dutch oven over low heat for 8-10 hours, or until the steak is fall-apart tender.
- Serve the steak with your favorite Tex-Mex sides, such as rice, beans, guacamole, and salsa.
Conclusion:
This slow-cooked Tex-Mex flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The steak is tender and flavorful, and the Tex-Mex spices give it a delicious kick. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, and you have a meal that the whole family will love.
