Categories     Dinner     Lunch

Time 4h15m

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup dark brown sugar (packed)
2 tablespoons chili powder
1 (1 oz) packet ranch seasoning mix
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt (plus more to taste)
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (omit if you don't like spice)
2 pounds flank steak
Honey mustard (for drizzling, if desired)

Steps:

  • Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray, then pour in olive oil. Set aside.
  • In a medium sized bowl, whisk together brown sugar, chili powder, ranch mix, paprika, salt, and cayenne. This is our spice rub.
  • Rub a few spoonfuls of the spice rub onto the steak to fully coat it.
  • Place steak into the prepared crockpot, then sprinkle on remaining spice rub.
  • Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.
  • Remove steak from the crockpot and use a sharp knife to slice it into strips against the grain (this will basically shred your steak, but will prevent it from creating long and stringy pieces).
  • Serve as desired - on a bun, in a quesadilla, over mashed potatoes, on top of Mac and cheese, as nachos, etc. with a drizzle of homemade honey mustard sauce, if desired!
