Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat: Flank steak is a flavorful and affordable cut that is perfect for slow cooking. However, it can be tough if not cooked properly. Slow cooking helps to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
- Use a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what gives the flank steak its flavor. Be sure to use a marinade that has a good balance of acidity and sweetness. This will help to tenderize the meat and give it a delicious flavor.
- Cook the steak on low heat: Slow cooking is the key to tender flank steak. Cook the steak on low heat for at least 8 hours, or until it is fall-apart tender.
- Let the steak rest before serving: Once the steak is cooked, let it rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help to keep the juices in the steak and make it more flavorful.
Conclusion:
Slow cooker Cuban flank steak is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and citrus juices, then cooked on low heat until it is fall-apart tender. Serve the steak with your favorite sides, such as rice, beans, or vegetables. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
