01
Step 1
Start by seasoning the flank steak generously with your favorite steak seasoning on both sides. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until it’s shimmering, then add the steak. Sear it for about 5 minutes on each side until nicely browned. Once done, set the steak aside for a moment.

Step 2
In your slow cooker, mix together the brown sugar, chopped onion, diced red bell pepper, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and tomato paste. Stir everything until the brown sugar has completely dissolved. Nestle the seared flank steak into the sauce, making sure it’s well covered.

Step 3
Cover and cook on High for about 4 hours or on Low for 8 hours, until the meat is tender and easy to shred. When it’s ready, either pull the meat apart with two forks or chop it up and stir it back into the sauce.

Step 4
