Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by rubbing a mix of chili powder, ground cumin, coriander, salt, and black pepper evenly on a trimmed flank steak or chuck roast. The beef is placed in a slow cooker, topped with sliced yellow onions and red and green bell peppers, and soy sauce is poured around it. Cooking on low for 9 hours or on high for 5 to 6 hours softens the meat and melds the flavors.
After cooking, the beef and vegetables are drained, and the beef is shredded. This shredded meat mixture retains the warmth and aroma of the spices and vegetables, providing a tender texture ideal for wrapping in tortillas. The method allows the vegetables to soften without becoming mushy, preserving some bite alongside the shredded beef.
Serving the fajitas wrapped in flour tortillas with additional toppings of choice makes a hearty meal, with leftovers keeping well refrigerated for up to four days. This recipe simplifies fajita preparation by using a slow cooker without needing to sear or brown the meat beforehand.
