*This is my most requested recipe! The drippings from this dish make the best gravy!
Slow-cooker recipe:
1 (1 to 1-1/2 lbs.) flank steak
1/4 c. bottled teriyaki sauce
1 T. lemon juice
1 tsp. vinegar
1 T. canola oil
1 clove minced garlic (I use 1/8 tsp. minced garlic in a jar)
Juice reserved from can of fruit coctail (save fruit for later)
Sprinkle flank steak with salt and pepper; place in slow-cooking pot. Drain fruit cocktail, saving 1/4 c. syrup. Combine 1/4 cup syrup with remaining ingredients: pour over steak in pot. (Do not add fruit cocktail yet...only syrup)
Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours or until tender. Add drained fruit the last few minutes until hot. Lift out of pot: place on platter. With sharp knife, cut thin slices of meat across the grain. Serve hot.
Makes 4-5 servings.
Serve with mashed potatoes and gravy made from sauce in pot. (I usually double the liquid ingredients and make a gravy from that for the potatoes. Yummy fruity teriyaki gravy. :9
By the way, this may sound strange to top with hot fruit cocktail but so far, everyone I know who has tried this recipe has loved it. Every time I make it I plan to take a picture of the final result but it is devoured so quickly that I never get the shot. :)
