Southwest Pulled Flank Steak

Ingredients

Ingredients for at least 8 servings of 4oz

  • 2 lb raw lean flank, beef or buffalo
  • 1/3 cup red onion, chopped
  • 1/2 tablespoon cumin
  • 1 tablespoon chili powder
  • 2 heaping tablespoons tomato paste
  • pinch of sea salt & pepper
  • 1/3 cup water
  • Garnish
    • fresh lime
    • fresh chopped cilantro
  • olive oil spray

Steps

Step 1

Spray the slow cooker with olive oil, then add the flank steak. For best results, it’s best if the flank steak is not rolled – try as much as possible to lay it flat. Add the rest of the ingredients, give it a quick stir, then cover and cook on high for 4 hours or on low for 6 to 8 hours. Alternatively, you can also use a dutch oven and cook for about 2 to 3 hours on low heat.

Step 2

When the meat is about 85% complete with the cooking cycle, gently pull it apart with forks, then allow it to cook for the remaining time in it’s own juices.

Step 3

Season to taste with sea salt, pepper, fresh lime and cilantro

Step 4

Enjoy this warm, or even cold the next day in a lunch burrito!
