Because other comments said the meat fell apart too much, I cooked it whole and sliced it before serving. The meat was still tender and juicy but stayed in strips. I also added the peppers in the last 30 minutes per Jami's recommendation and they were cooked perfectly crisp tender.Kristin Kimble Purleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10836718459712877393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121501718097053429.post-1905631945257520552009-02-22T20:10:00.000-07:002009-02-22T20:10:00.000-07:00I made this tonight and it turned out great. I did...I made this tonight and it turned out great. I did make a few changes though. First, flank steak is expensive (I couldn't find it for less than $4, but that was at Sam's Club and you had to buy it in bulk and I didn't want to do that. At Smith's it was $7.99/lb!) so I substituted with just a beef chuck steak. I figured that since it is being cooked over a low heat and long time you could sacrifice a bit on the cut of the meat b/c it would become tender no matter what. <BR/><BR/>At Taylor's suggestion, I cut down the cooking time to 4 hours on low for the meat, onions and sauce and then added the peppers for the last hour as the recipe says. However, next time I think you could get away with 3-3 1/2 hours for the meat and adding the peppers a 1/2 hour before serving time. They were a little bit too mushy for my taste. The meat still fell apart some, but there were still some good sized chunks in it. <BR/><BR/>Another factor to consider for the cook time is the size of your crock-pot. Mine is quite large and I'm sure things cooked faster because of that. <BR/><BR/>Overall, I really enjoyed the flavor of this dish and the tenderness of the beef (I hate chewy beef!). We will make this again.Jamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05724741901983005647noreply@blogger.com
