I use this delicious tender flank steak for stuffing enchiladas. The taste of the seasoning is quite spicy but oh so good. Nothing is wasted in this dish, the liquid from the stock goes into the oven as sauce for the baked enchiladas.

Time 8h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups seasoned stuffing mix
1 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
2 lbs flank steaks
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons oil
salt and pepper
1 (1 ounce) package brown gravy mix
2 cups beef broth

Steps:

  • Slightly score flank steak on each side at 1 inch intervals.

  • Mix gravy and water.

Tips:

  • Choose a flank steak that is at least 1 inch thick, and trim any excess fat.
  • To make the marinade, whisk together the olive oil, soy sauce, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, brown sugar, cumin, chili powder, and salt and pepper in a large bowl.
  • Place the flank steak in the marinade and turn to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
  • When ready to cook, remove the flank steak from the marinade and discard the marinade.
  • Sear the flank steak in a hot skillet over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned.
  • Transfer the flank steak to a slow cooker.
  • Add the beef broth, onion, and garlic to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and cook on low for 8-10 hours, or until the flank steak is fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the flank steak with two forks.
  • Serve the shredded flank steak on tortillas, bread, or rice, topped with your favorite toppings.
