Slow Cooker
Sloppied Flank Steak Sandwiches
Flank steak slow-cooked in a sweet and savory sloppy joe-style sauce until it shreds easily. Served on buns, it’s a fun and hearty twist on classic sandwiches.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (such as montreal steak seasoning®)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 1 tablespoon worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste 6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions:
- Sprinkle the beef flank steak with steak seasoning on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and place the flank steak into the hot oil. Quickly brown the steak on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set the beef aside.
- Stir brown sugar, onion, red bell pepper, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and tomato paste together in a slow cooker until the brown sugar dissolves. Place the flank steak into the slow cooker, immersing it in the sauce. Set the cooker on on High and cook 4 hours, or set on Low and cook 8 hours.
- To serve, shred the meat with 2 forks, or remove the meat, chop, and return to the sauce. Toast buns, and serve the sloppied steak on the toasted buns.
