Sloppied Flank Steak Sandwiches
Description
A tangy, tomato-based sloppy joe sauce with brown sugar and apple cider vinegar makes a good sauce for chopped steak, too. Make it in a slow cooker, and pile it on toasted buns.
Ingredients
•
1 1/2 pounds beef flank steak
•
1 tablespoon steak seasoning (such as Montreal Steak Seasoning®)
•
1 tablespoon olive oil
•
1/4 cup brown sugar
•
1 small onion, chopped
•
1 small red bell pepper, chopped
•
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
•
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
•
2 cups tomato sauce
•
2 tablespoons tomato paste
•
6 hamburger buns, split and toasted
Directions
1
Sprinkle the beef flank steak with steak seasoning on both sides. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until the oil shimmers, and place the flank steak into the hot oil. Quickly brown the steak on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Set the beef aside.
2
Stir brown sugar, onion, red bell pepper, apple cider vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, and tomato paste together in a slow cooker until the brown sugar dissolves. Place the flank steak into the slow cooker, immersing it in the sauce. Set the cooker on on High and cook 4 hours, or set on Low and cook 8 hours.
3
To serve, shred the meat with 2 forks, or remove the meat, chop, and return to the sauce. Toast buns, and serve the sloppied steak on the toasted buns.
