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

Provided by Jennifer Debth

Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spice)
2 pounds flank steak
Honey mustard (for drizzling, if desired)

Steps:

  • Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray, then pour in olive oil. Set aside.

  • Serve the steak with your favorite Tex-Mex sides, such as rice, beans, guacamole, and salsa.

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.
