Notes
- If you prefer, you can cook on HIGH for 3-4 hours, but the meat won’t be as tender.
- If you want a thicker sauce, just create a slurry: Remove the flank steak from the slow cooker once it's done cooking, and then whisk together 2 tablespoons of cornstarch with 2 tablespoons of cold water. Stir this mixture into the slow cooker and cook on high for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
- Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
