Servings: 6
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 the beef broth, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, olive oil, brown sugar, minced garlic, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to create the marinade.
- Place the flank steak in the slow cooker.
- Pour the marinade over the flank steak, making sure it's evenly coated.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on low for 6-8 hours, until the flank steak is tender.
- Once done, 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.
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.
