This is cooking away in our slow cooker and it is about to drive me crazy because it smells so good: Slow Cooker Apple Cider Braised Flank Steak Rated: Prep Time: 30 MinutesCook Time: 6 Hours 30 Minutes Ready In: 7 HoursServings: 4 The original recipe was “Slow Cooker Apple Cider Braise Pork” but of course I changed it. From allrecipes/Recipe/Slow-Cooker-Apple-Cider-Braised-Pork/Detail.aspx?ms=1&prop25=123982995&prop26=DailyDish&prop27=2013-10-07&prop28=Feature_1&prop29=Detail&me=1 INGREDIENTS: 1 (2 pound) boneless flank steakSalt and freshly ground black pepper to taste1-½ teaspoon vegetable oil2 shallots, sliced1 small rib celery, chopped¼ cup apple cider vinegar1-¼ cups apple cider2 cloves garlic, peeled1 bay leaf¾ teaspoons Dijon mustard1 pinch cayenne pepper, or more to taste1 tablespoons cold butter, cut into small pieces1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (Italian parsley, sage, or thyme) DIRECTIONS: 1. Season flank steak with salt and black pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Sear flank steak on all sides in the hot oil until browned, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer pork to the slow cooker. 2. Reduce stovetop temperature to medium; cook and stir shallots and celery in the skillet until they begin to soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in apple cider vinegar and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until liquid is nearly evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes. 3. Pour shallot mixture over flank steak in the slow cooker. Add apple cider, garlic cloves, and bay leaf. Cover, set slow cooker to Low, and cook until fork-tender but not falling apart, about 6 hours. Turn flank steak over after 3 hours. Remove flank steak to a plate and cover loosely with foil. 4. Pour remaining liquid from the slow cooker through a fine mesh strainer into a large saucepan; place over high heat. Discard bay leaf and other solids. Bring sauce mixture to a boil; decrease heat and cook, skimming fat from the top, until reduced to ¼ of the original volume, about 10 minutes. 5. Remove sauce from heat and stir in Dijon mustard and cayenne pepper. Slowly whisk in cold butter until incorporated. Sprinkle in fresh herbs and season with salt and black pepper to taste. 6. Cut steak into ¼-thick slices and serve with sauce poured over the top. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED © 2013 Allrecipes Printed from Allrecipes 10/7/2013
