Before you cook

Look for the direction of the muscle fibers before slicing so you can cut across them.

How to make Citrus Slow-Cooker Flank Steak

  1. Combine the spices, salt and pepper, then stir in the olive oil. Rub the mixture over both sides of the steak.

  2. Mix the three juices, soy sauce and vinegar. Pour half into a greased slow cooker. Lay in the steak and pour the remaining mixture over it.

  3. Cover and cook on low for 6 hours. Let the meat rest on a board for 5 to 10 minutes, then slice thinly across the grain.

  4. Return the slices to the cooking juices and turn gently to coat.
