Main Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb Flank steak
- 2 tbsp Unflavored gelatin powder
- 1/4 cup Coconut aminos
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1/4 cup Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend (or honey for a paleo or regular diet)
- 1 tbsp Blackstrap molasses (or 1/2 tsp pure maple extract)
- 1 tbsp Sesame oil
- 3/4 tsp Sea salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground ginger
- 1/4 tsp Black pepper
Instructions
- Slice the steak: Slice the flank steak as thinly as you can (1/4 inch (6.35 mm) or thinner), against the grain.
- Coat with gelatin: In a large bowl or plastic bag, toss the flank steak with gelatin powder, until evenly coated.
- Add steak to slow cooker: Place the steak into the slow cooker.
- Prepare the sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, minced garlic, sweetener, molasses, sesame oil, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Pour the sauce over the steak in the slow cooker and stir to coat.
- Cook in slow cooker: Cover and cook for 4-6 hours on Low or 2-3 hours on High, until steak is tender and cooked through.
- Optional sauce thickening: If you want a thicker sauce at the end, you can remove the meat, pour the sauce into a medium saucepan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes to reduce the sauce. Otherwise, feel free to skip this step and just drizzle the liquid over the meat for serving.
Notes
- Slice the flank steak as thin as possible to ensure tender meat.
- For a paleo-friendly version, replace the sweetener with honey.
- Thickening the sauce is optional but enhances the flavor if you reduce it on the stovetop.
- Serve with cauliflower rice or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
