Description
I’m not a fan of ground beef, but I like the flavor of sloppy joes. This recipe incorporates the flavor of the classic sandwich with the lean cut of flank steak and the ease of a slow cooker.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds beef flank steak
- 1 tablespoon steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 small red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 2 cups tomato sauce
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Instructions
- Sprinkle the beef flank steak with steak seasoning on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers
- and place the flank steak into the hot oil. Quickly brown the steak on both sides
- about 5 minutes per side. Set the beef aside.
- Stir brown sugar
- onion
- red bell pepper
- apple cider vinegar
- Worcestershire sauce
- tomato sauce
- and tomato paste together in a slow cooker until the brown sugar dissolves. Place the flank steak into the slow cooker
- immersing it in the sauce. Set the cooker on on High and cook 4 hours
- or set on Low and cook 8 hours.

- or remove the meat
