Slow Cooker Carne Asada

One sniff of our aromatic slow-cooker carne asada and you'll wish it was already dinnertime.

Ingredients :
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 beef flank steak
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/3 cup Mexican beer

  • 8 corn tortillas, warmed
  • Toppings: Pico de gallo, crumbled Cotija cheese, cubed avocado and fresh cilantro leaves
Directions :
  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown steak on both sides. Transfer to a 3 or 4-qt. slow cooker.
  2. Add onion and garlic to same skillet; cook and stir until crisp-tender, 1-2 minutes. Add beer to pan; cook 30 seconds, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Stir in orange juice, lime juice, vinegar, soy sauce and seasonings; return to a boil. Pour over steak.
