Notes

Letting the flank steak rest after cooking is crucial for juicy slices. For a smoky flavor, consider searing the flank steak for a couple of minutes before adding it to the slow cooker. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days and can taste even better the next day. To reheat, add a splash of broth for moisture.
