To begin, cut a 2 1/2 lb. (or so) flank steak in half cross-ways. Sprinkle each half with 1/2 teaspoon each of fine salt, freshly ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Lightly spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray, and then stack the steak halves inside.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1/3 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of tomato paste, 1 clove of minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of grated ginger. (Side note: I find ground, fresh ginger and garlic in tubes in my grocer’s produce section. It is a fantastic shortcut in the kitchen and I am not ashamed to use it! It can also be frozen and lasts for months.)

Pour in 12 ounces of cola. Stir these all together. If you would like a little “heat,” add in a teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Pour the sauce over the contents of the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Carefully remove the steak pieces to a cutting board and shred it with two forks. Return the shredded meat to the slow cooker and stir it in with the peppers and onion.

Serve, wrapped in flour tortillas with some sour cream or guacamole if you like.

Enjoy!
