Tough flank steak turns into tender fajita meat when it's slow cooked in the crock pot.
Method: crock pot
Time: 2-5 hours
Flank Steak
This tougher cut of meat was considered "throw away" in the U.S. until fajitas became popular. Because it's tough it must be tenderized, typically by marinating it. This meat is quite flavorful and is great grilled. It's commonly used in fajitas, tacos, stir-fries and is an ideal candidate for the crockpot. Be careful not to over-cook the meat (medium-rare is best) and slice the meat against the grain to make it more tender.
