"My slow cooker gets lots of use, especially during the hectic summer months," notes Michelle Armistead from Keyport, New Jersey. "I can fix this flank steak in the morning and forget about it until dinnertime. I serve it with noodles and a tossed salad."

I thought I'd add to my previous comments, that I ALWAYS cook two flank steaks at the same time...(Yes stacked in the the same crock-pot). Sometimes I double the spices and onion, sometimes I don't...but BOTH always turn out perfect!

I wanted to add something else to my comment. I did cook the steak for 7 hours and I did find it a bit dry. I then tried 4-5 on high and it was fantastic.

This recipe was fantastic! I rarely eat beef, but this has been something I have made at least 3 times since I tired it 1 month ago.

This is the best steak recipe I have ever tried. We liked it so much we made it twice in one week. Kudo's to the person who sent in the recipe.

7 -8 hours yeiled a very dry and over done steak! We prefer ours done 4 hours on low. Turns out PERFECT!
