Greek Flank Steak Crock Pot
Description
This crock pot recipe starts by placing chopped onions in the slow cooker, then rubbing flank steaks with a mixture of canola oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, black pepper, and optional cayenne for mild heat. The seasoned steaks are placed atop the onions, and low-sodium beef broth is added to keep the meat moist during the 8-hour slow cooking on low.
The slow cooking breaks down the tough fibers in the flank steak, producing tender, juicy meat and softened onions infused with the herbaceous flavors. After cooking, the steak is sliced thinly across the grain for tenderness and served with the onions and broth, which can be thickened into gravy.
It's a practical recipe for hands-off cooking that delivers classic Greek-inspired flavors, with a balance of garlic, oregano, and gentle spices. The thinly sliced steak pairs well with rice, potatoes, or breads.
As recommended, the broth can be thickened by simmering it with arrowroot, cornstarch, or flour for a richer sauce. This addition enhances the serving juice and complements the meat and onions.
