Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper.
- Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the flank steak, place it in the bottom of the slow cooker, and add the soy sauce.
- Top the flank steak with the jalapeno, garlic, bell peppers, and onion. There's no need to add any water or other liquid.
- Cook on high for 5 to 6 hours or on low for 8-9 hours, or until the steak can easily be shredded with two forks.
- Thoroughly drain the meat and peppers, shred the meat and serve on tortillas with toppings or the fixings of your choice.
Tips:
- Choose the right cut of steak: Flank steak, skirt steak, or sirloin steak are all good choices for fajitas. These cuts are relatively thin and cook quickly, making them ideal for this dish.
- Slice the steak against the grain: This will help to tenderize the meat and make it easier to chew.
- Marinate the steak: Marinating the steak in a mixture of spices, herbs, and oil will help to flavor the meat and make it more tender.
- Cook the steak over high heat: This will help to sear the meat and lock in the juices.
- Don't overcook the steak: Fajitas are best when the steak is cooked to medium-rare or medium.
- Serve the steak with your favorite toppings: Common toppings for fajitas include guacamole, salsa, sour cream, and cheese.
