  1. Cut the flank steak into strips, against the grain.
  2. In a frying pan, use 1 tablespoon of the coconut oil and place in the pan browning half of the flank steak strips for about 2-3 minutes on each side.
  3. Repeat with the other half of the flank steak adding with the additional tablespoon of coconut oil.
  4. Transfer the browned flank steak.
  5. Adding all the remaining ingredients.
  6. Mix well, combining all the ingredients with the steak.
  7. Cover. Cook on Low for 6 hours.
  8. When done remove the flank steak and shred.
  9. Once shredded place back in the slow cooker, and again combine all the ingredients with the steak before serving.

SERVE with rice and beans, or in a tortilla.

I think the 2 T of salt should have been. 2 tsps. It was way too salty. Otherwise, I think it would have been good.
