Yummy Crockpot Dinner

I absolutely love this meal.  It is so easy and yet it tastes so yummy.  The only trick is you have to make sure you get a good flank or skirt steak.   If you can find a massive skirt steak that is the best, and if you are ordering some Diamond H beef then even better!

Cuban Braised Beef & Peppers

1 28 oz can of diced tomatoes, drained (although I did no drain, more juice the better)

2 -3 Red, Yellow, or Orange Bell Pepper sliced ½ inch thick

1 onion cut into wedges

2 teaspoons of dried oregano

1 teaspoon of ground cumin

kosher salt and black pepper

1 ½ pounds of really good flank steak or skirt steak, cut crosswise into thirds

1 cup long grain white rice, or brown rice

1 avocado

¼ cup of fresh cilantro

In a 5-6 qt slow cooker, combine the tomatoes, bell peppers, onion, spices, salt and pepper.  Mix Well.   Nestle the steak among the vegetables.  Cook, covered, until the meat is tender and pulls apart easily, on high for 4-5 hours or on low for 7-8 hours.

25 minutes before serving cook the rice according to package instructions

Using two forks, shred the beef and mix it into the cooking liquid ( you can also let it cool and scrape any excess fat off and then heat back up).  Serve with rice and top with avocado and cilantro --- and maybe a little salsa

And then have your self an amazing dinner sitting at a table with someone you love :)
