Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Steak: Rub the beef skirt steak with olive oil and steak seasoning. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Slow Cook: Place the seasoned steak in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on Low for approximately 8 hours, or until the steak is very tender and easily pulls apart. (8 hours)

03

Step

Rest and Shred: Remove the cooked steak from the slow cooker and let it rest for about 10-15 minutes. Then, using two forks, shred the steak into bite-sized pieces. (20 minutes)

04

Step

Prepare the Salad: In a large bowl, combine the chopped romaine lettuce, corn kernels, diced avocado, sliced mini sweet peppers, and halved grape tomatoes. (10 minutes)

05

Step

Make the Dressing: In a food processor or blender, combine the Greek yogurt, chopped fresh cilantro, fresh lime juice, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust salt to taste. (5 minutes)

06

Step

Assemble and Serve: Arrange the shredded steak over the salad. Drizzle generously with the cilantro-lime dressing. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For extra flavor, sear the steak in a hot pan for 2-3 minutes per side before placing it in the slow cooker.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can bake the steak at 300°F (150°C) for about 2-2.5 hours, or until very tender.
Feel free to add other vegetables to your salad, such as red onion, cucumber, or bell peppers.
The cilantro-lime dressing can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    If you don't have mini sweet peppers, you can use a regular bell pepper instead.

    Be careful not to overcook the steak in the slow cooker, or it will become dry.

    I added a can of black beans for extra protein and fiber. It was delicious!

    The dressing is also great as a marinade for chicken or fish.
