Mexican Steak & Beans (Crockpot Recipe)

1 1/2 lbs. beef flank steak
2 tbs. worcestershire sauce
1 10 oz. can chopped tomatoes with green chilie peppers (Rotel)
1 medium onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbs. snipped fresh oregano or 1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. cumin
1 tsp. chili powder
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. black pepper
2 small green, red, and/or yellow sweet peppers, cut into strips
1 15 oz. can pinto beans, rinsed and drained
3 cups hot cooked rice
crumbled queso fresco (optional)

Trim fat from meat. Place meat in a slow cooker. Condition meat with salt and pepper (Not
recipe measurements) and worcestershire sauce. In a bowl, stir together undrained tomatoes, onion, garlic, dried oregano (if using), chili powder, cumin, salt and pepper (recipe measurements). Pour over meat.
Cover and cook on low-heat setting for 6-8 hours or on high-heat setting for 2-4 hours.
If using low-heat setting, turn to high-heat setting. Add sweet pepper strips and pinto beans. Cover and cook for 30 minutes more. Remove meat; cool slightly. Shred or thinly slice meat across the grain. If using, stir in fresh oregano into bean mixture.
To serve, spoon rice into soup bowls or into flour tortillas for soft tacos. Arrange meat on rice. Spoon bean mixture over meat. Sprinkle with cheese and additional snipped oregano, if desired.
Additional condiments include, but are not limited to sour cream, guacamole, cilantro, salsa, etc.
