Crockpot Flank Steak

© Allison Huller McAlister

This week's feature recipe is another Crockpot main dish that we'll call simply "Crockpot Flank Steak." This recipe is yet another quick and easy one. Prepare it in the morning, cook it in the Crockpot on low for about 8 hours, then you'll have a delicious meat dish ready that evening. We thought the meat was extremely tasty, and meat prepared in the Crockpot always comes out tender and juicy. The chili powder gives the meat a slight kick of flavor, but it's not really spicy at all. It's got a wonderful flavor to it. We'll have to give it four stars. I was leaning more towards five, but my husband had to give it a four. According to him, it just didn't have that extra "oomph" to make it worthy of five stars, but it was indeed worthy of a "Yummy!" rating. I'll be making this one again in the near future, I'm sure. I would even recommend serving this one to company. Serve it up with a baked potato and a vegetable to complete the dinner. Delicious!

I hope you'll give this one a try. I enjoyed it immensely. Let me know what your family has to say about it.

Have a good week and good eating!
