How to Make Pulled Flank Steak Salsa Style

  1. In a large zip-top bag, combine the flank steak (2 lbs) with 1 cup salsa (adjust spice level to your preference), 1/2 cup chopped onion, 1/4 cup chopped cilantro, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 tbsp olive oil, 1 tsp cumin, and 1/2 tsp smoked paprika.
  2. Seal the bag, pressing out excess air, and massage the marinade into the flank steak. Marinate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 4 hours in the refrigerator.
  3. Transfer the marinated flank steak and marinade to a slow cooker.
  4. Cook on low for 8 hours, or until the steak is incredibly tender.
  5. Remove the flank steak from the slow cooker and shred it using two forks.
  6. Return the shredded flank steak to the slow cooker and stir to combine with the cooking juices.
  7. Serve the pulled flank steak over rice, in slider buns, or in warm tortillas. Top with your favorite toppings such as avocado, shredded cheese, sour cream, or extra cilantro.
