The beef looks so juicy and tender. I wish I could grab that sandwich now :-))
ReplyDeleteYou chose flank steak, which surprises me as it's usually expensive and can be broiled rather than slow-cooked. So I would expect the use of a less-tender cut of meat that would render the collagen (which makes it too tough to cook quickly) while slow cooking. But I'm sure it would be delicious with any beef.
