Recipe Introduction

I fixed these in the crockpot and finished off the shredded product/sauce in the oven. Thumbs up....if you're a fan of 5-spice powder.

List of Ingredients

1-1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1/2 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup chopped onion
2 pounds flank steak, trimmed
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
8 (2-1/2 ounce) hoagie rolls


Recipe

Combine first 9 ingredients in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil. Add onion and beef; return to a boil. Cover and reduce heat, and simmer 1 hour and 45 minutes or until beef is tender, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.

Transfer beef to a cutting board, reserving cooking liquid in pan. Shred beef with 2 forks. Return shredded beef to pan; stir in hoisin sauce. Bring the mixture to a boil; reduce heat, and simmer 20 minutes or until most of the liquid evaporates, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes. Stir in cliantro.

Serve on rolls.
