The Ultimate Beginner’s Guide to Crockpot Steak Fajitas

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 lbs flank steak, sliced – Flank steak is ideal for fajitas because it’s lean yet becomes tender when slow-cooked. You can also use skirt steak or sirloin if preferred.
• 1 onion, sliced – Adds natural sweetness and depth to the dish. Yellow or white onions work best.
• 2 bell peppers, sliced – A mix of red, green, and yellow peppers gives vibrant color and a slightly different taste.
• 1 packet fajita seasoning – A pre-made blend keeps things simple, but you can make your own with chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper.
• 1/2 cup beef broth – Helps infuse moisture and flavor into the steak as it cooks.
