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. All credit for the seasoning goes to Potsie's recipe for Mucho Gusto Taco Seasoning #199955

Here are some tips for making Slow-Cooked Tex-mex Flank Steak:

  • Use a good quality flank steak. Look for one that is at least 1 inch thick and has good marbling.
  • Flank steak can be tough, so it's important to cook it slowly and at a low temperature. This will allow the connective tissue to break down and the steak to become more electrician flavorful and juicy.
  • Marinating the steak before cooking it will help to further improve the tenderness and enhance the flavors. You can use a variety of marinades, but a simple mixture of citrus juices and herbs will work well.
  • Be sure to cook the steak long enough, but not too long. Overcooked flank steak will be tough and chewy.
  • Let the steak rest for a few minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to reabsorb into the meat.

Conclusion:

Slow-Cooked Tex-mex Flank Steak is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. The flank steak is marinated in a flavorful mixture of spices and then slow-cooked until it is fall-apart-tender. Serve the steak with your favorite Tex-mex toppings, such as guacamole, salsa, and corn on the cob.
