Tips for Making the Best Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas:

Steak Fajitas are very simple to make in the slow cooker or Crock Pot, but here are a few tips to help you make them perfectly tender.

  • Do not add too much liquid.
  • Add the vegetables in at the end to avoid overcooking.
  • Slice the steak against the grain for the most tender meat.
  • A little bit of fat on the steak or marbling is needed otherwise it will be too dry.
  • Flank steak is the best choice for this recipe as it will yield the most tender result and is traditionally used.

How to store leftovers:

Once fully cooled, store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to reheat, heat in a skillet or microwave for 4-5 minutes on medium heat.

Freezer Meal Prep Instructions:

Prepare all ingredients as instructed in the recipe card, add the raw ingredients to a freezer-safe storage bag. Be sure to label and date the bag, remove as much air as possible from the bag and seal.

Store this flat in the freezer for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, defrost overnight, and continue with the cooking instructions as written in the recipe card.
