Came up with this receipe on a whim and it was a hit. Never used flank steak in a crock pot before and was not sure how it would come out and after eating this I will use flank steak in the crock pot not only because I enjoyed it but because the hubby really wanted seconds and kept telling me it reminded him of his favorite bbq...

1 pkg beef flank steak(1 1/2 to 2 lbs)
3 large onions (i like sweet ones) cut into nice pieces

Steps:

  • 1. pour water into crock pot add bbq sauce and stir to blend
  • 2. rough chop onions into nice pieces..they will shrink during the cooking process (I used 3 large..next time i might add 1 more we love onions) add onions to mixture in crock pot
  • 3. chop 3 fresh cloves of garlic or use 3 table spoons of pre chopped garlic and add to crockpot
  • 4. add your flank steak to the pot and make sure the steak is covered by the bbq sauce/water mixture (you can add alittle more water if needed)
  • 5. cook for 8 hrs on low stir..this will help the flank steak shred
  • 6. I served ours over mashed potatoes and served with fresh green beans..for left overs I toasted some onion rolls with a little butter in the oven and made shredded bbq beef sandwiches

Time 8h5m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 - 5 lb beef (or pork) roast
16 oz jar of salsa
½ - 1 c your favorite bbq sauce (optional)
2 pinch salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Set Crock pot on low and add ½ the jar of salsa, a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • 2. Put roast in Crock Pot and cover with the rest of the salsa, and another pinch of salt and pepper. No need to add water.
  • 3. Add ½ to 1 cups of BBQ sauce (optional). I would recommend starting with the ½ cup at first, and add more later, if desired.
  • 4. Cook on low for 8 hours. Do not remove the lid, there is no need to stir.
  • 5. About 1 hour before serving, take two forks and shred the beef. Add additional BBQ sauce (optional). Recover, and let marinate until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef. Chuck roast or brisket are good options because they have a lot of connective tissue that will break down and become tender during the cooking process.
  • Brown the beef before cooking it in the slow cooker. This will help to develop flavor and prevent the beef from becoming dry.
  • Add plenty of liquid to the slow cooker. This will help to keep the beef moist and prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Cook the beef on low heat for 8-10 hours. This will allow the connective tissue to break down and the beef to become fall-apart tender.
  • Shred the beef with two forks before serving. This will make it easier to eat and will help to distribute the sauce evenly.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Shredded Beef BBQ is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a flavorful and tender beef BBQ that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give Crock-Pot Shredded Beef BBQ a try. You won't be disappointed!
