Flank Steak Slow Cooker Freezer Recipes

After I organized my deep freezer, I thought it might be a good idea to bunch recipes together based on what cut is nearest/easiest to pull out.


So these are both recipes for flank steaks.  If you wanted to, you could use a chuck roast or other type of cut.


Since I bought 1/8 of cow, all my meat is already frozen.  So this time all I did was chop the veggies, add the ingredients and put them in a bag by themselves.  For those of you who were worried about putting raw meat (read the comment section) in a bag with veggies, this eliminates that.  On cook day, you dump in the meat first and then your bag of veggies and seasoning.  Or another reader suggested bagging the meat in a small bag and then putting it in the larger bag with the veggies.  


I don't think there is any problem putting meat and veggies together, because you immediately put it the freezer and when you take it out you immediately cook it.
