Ingredients

• 2 pounds Flank steak
• 1 cup Pineapple juice
• 1 cup BBQ sauce (your favorite)
• 0.25 cup Soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 medium Onion, sliced
• 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained if canned)
• 2 tablespoons Cornstarch
• 2 tablespoons Water
• 1 spray Cooking spray (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Spray the inside of your slow cooker with cooking spray to prevent sticking (optional).

Step 2

Place the flank steak in the slow cooker.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, whisk together pineapple juice, BBQ sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, and ground black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Add the sliced onion and pineapple chunks over the flank steak in the slow cooker.

Step 5

Pour the prepared sauce mixture over the steak, making sure it is well covered.

Step 6

Cover the slow cooker and cook on LOW for 6-8 hours or HIGH for 3-4 hours, until the steak is tender and easily shreddable.

Step 7

Once cooked, carefully remove the steak from the slow cooker and transfer to a cutting board. Let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing against the grain.

Step 8

To thicken the sauce, mix the cornstarch and water together in a small bowl until smooth. Add this slurry to the cooking liquid in the slow cooker and stir well.

Step 9

Cover and cook the sauce on HIGH for 15 minutes, or until it thickens to your liking.

Step 10

Serve the sliced steak with the thickened sauce spooned over the top.
