Flank steak is ideal for this preparation, but flat-iron steak, beef
chuck roast, and beef brisket are some more economical cuts of beef
that also stand up to the low heat, longer braising of the slow cooker.

1 flank steak (2 lb), seasoned with salt and black pepper
2 Tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup low-sodium beef broth
4 Roma tomatoes, seeded and chopped
2 poblano chiles, seeded and sliced into strips
2 onions, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and sliced into strips
2 Tbsp minced garlic
2 Tbsp dried oregano
1 Tbsp ground cumin
2 tsp each ground coriander and smoked paprika
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Minced red onion
Chopped fresh cilantro
Sliced jalapeno

Sear steak in oil in a sautn pan over medium heat 3–4 minutes per
side; transfer steak to a plate. Deglaze pan with broth, scraping
up bits on the bottom; set pan aside.

Combine tomatoes, poblanos, onions, bell pepper, and garlic in a
4 to 6-qt. slow cooker. Add oregano, cumin, coriander, paprika,
salt, and pepper flakes; toss to coat. Add steak and pan drippings.

and sliced jalapeno.
