Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas #MultiCookerMonday

These steak fajitas are cooked in the slow cooker and then do a quick broil for color and texture before being sliced and returned to the pot for serving.  It is a great way to free up time, especially if having a fiesta and feeding a crowd.

It's time for Multi-Cooker Monday.......

Sue of Palatable Pastime invites us to join her on the third Monday of each month in sharing recipe made using small kitchen appliances.  I use my crockpot, instant pot, air fryer, smart oven, deep fryer, vitamix, etc quite often so I always have a recipe or two to share.  Let's see what small appliances the other's used this month.......

• AirFryer Tofu 65- Vegan by Sneha’s Recipe
• Instant Pot Kheer by Magical Ingredients
• Slow Cooker Barbecue Green Beans by Palatable Pastime
• Slow Cooker Steak Fajitas by A Day in the Life on the Farm
• Toaster Oven Mexican Rice by Sid's Sea Palm Cooking

For this easy recipe, you first layer all your veggies in the bottom of the crock of a slow cooker.  Then you place the meat on top and add your seasonings.

Pour in some tomatoes, add some garlic and that's it.  You can cover it, turn it on high and walk away for 4 hours.  This 4 hour window is exactly why I choose to sometimes use the slow cooker for fajitas, especially when having a party.  That slow braise also means that the steak is tender and flavorful.

I served this up as part of a buffet that included Chicken Enchiladas, Mexican Pork Kabobs (recipe to come), Mexican Rice  and Ranchero Beans that I made in the Instant Pot following this recipe from our host, Sue.  

As part of a buffet it was enough for a group of 20 with enough leftover that I could enjoy Steak Fajita Burritos for lunch the next day.  Should the be the only entree, it would probably feed 8 comfortably.  You can always halve the recipe to feed only 4 but this is one of those recipes that I use for planned leftovers when making my weekly menu.
