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.
