Equipment

  • 1 slow cooker

Ingredients

  • 3-4 lb flank steak top round or skirt steak
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 2 tsp cumin
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • 5 tbsp minced garlic or 6 garlic cloves diced
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp olive oil

Instructions

  • Mix all dry seasonings together in a bowl. Coat steak all over with olive oil and sprinkle seasonings on top to coat.
  • Lay meat in slow cooker and sprinkle minced garlic on top. Then squeeze lime on top and cover.
  • Cook for 7-8 hours on low or until meat is as done as you'd like. If you want shredded beef cook a bit longer so it pulls apart easily with 2 forks.
  • After slicing or shredding leave meat in drippings in the pot as you serve so it can get soaked up.
