Chipotle peppers are one of my favorite ingredients to put a little heat on the table, and flank steak is one of my favorite cuts of meat to throw in the slow cooker. When they come together as in the recipe below, it makes for one spicy meal. And the beef is so fall-apart tender you won’t be able to take it out of the cooker all in one piece. But that’s okay. It helps the beef soak up all that great sauce.
Speaking of that sauce: Many simply cook the meat and peppers together and shred it into tacos when all’s said and done. That’s a good way to go, but you can also add a bit of cornstarch to the sauce and serve it on its own with your favorite rice or potato dish.
