This recipe is an effortless way to have a traditional meal ready after Rosh Hashanah services. Leftovers make juicy steak sandwiches.



In a large bowl, stir together all ingredients, except steak. Place steak in a 5-quart slow cooker and pour garlic mixture over top; stir briefly so steak pieces aren't pressed firmly together.

Cover slow cooker and cook on high heat for 4 hours. Remove steak from slow cooker and let sit for 2 minutes; slice steak on the diagonal against the grain. Arrange steak on a platter and spoon vegetables and gravy on top. Yields about 1 1/2 cups of meat, vegetables and gravy per serving.

This recipe is excellent served with roasted fingerling potatoes. Precook them and then just reheat before serving.

Was a little nervous to make this because 24 oz of chili sauce seems like a lot. Very easy to fix. Served the finished dish with a side of couscous. The only deviations from the recipe I did was used less flank steak (2lbs instead of 3lbs) and used a port rather than a red wine. I thought it was good, not great. The husband on the other hand LOVED it, which I found surprising because he's very picky.
