Slow Cooker Five-Spice Steak Strips

By pamdabear3383

Ingredients

• 1-2 pounds thin steak meat (I used flank steak)
• 1/4 t kosher salt
• 1 t Five-Spice Powder
• 1/2 t ground ginger
• 1/4 t black pepper
• 6 cloves minced or chopped garlic
• 2 T soy sauce (La Choy and Tamari wheat-free are GF)
• 1 T white wine vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

In a small bowl, mix the dry spices. Rub the mixture on all sides of your meat.

Put the meat into a ziplock bag and add the chopped garlic, soy sauce, and white wine vinegar. Seal the bag and refrigerate for as long as possible; preferably overnight.

When the meat has fully marinated, cook on high for 3-4 hours, or on low for 5-6. This is very thin meat and will cook quickly, since there isn't much liquid. If you are going to be out of the house for a while, add 1/2 cup of beef broth. I used my 6qt Smart-Pot, and it was not really enough food for it; this would work best in a 4qt.

Slice the meat thin and serve over rice with vegetables, or on top of a spinach salad.
