What's Cooking in Meat Camp?

Today I have two crockpots hard at work.

I may be retired, but I still rely (heavily) on my slowcookers.

I've heard people say they don't use/don't like crockpots because everything tastes the same.

To that, I'd have to say, "you're doing it wrong."

Equipment

• Crockpot

Ingredients

• 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

Instructions

• 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!
• Take 5 seconds to rate this recipe below. We greatly appreciate it!
