Ingredients

2 pounds flank steak
½ cup beef broth
¼ cup soy sauce
¼ cup Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
4 cloves garlic minced
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together ½ cup beef broth, ¼ cup soy sauce, ¼ cup Worcestershire sauce, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, 4 minced garlic cloves, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ teaspoon black pepper to make the marinade.
Place 2 pounds flank steak into the slow cooker.
Pour the marinade over the flank steak, making sure the meat is evenly coated.
Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6–8 hours, or until the flank steak is tender.
Remove the flank steak from the slow cooker and let it rest on a cutting board for 5–10 minutes.
Slice the flank steak against the grain into thin strips and serve.

Notes

If you prefer, you can cook on high for 3-4 hours, but the meat won’t be as tender.

If you want a thicker sauce, just create a slurry: Remove the flank steak from the slow cooker once it's done cooking, and then whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
