I was cruising pinterest again and I saw this crock pot recipe for beef pozole using a flank steak hey I thought, I have a frozen one in the freezer perfect!!! I have done pork pozole before which is really good never beef tho. This one comes from www.bhg.com .
Slow-Cooked Beef Pozole
8 oz. red potatoes, chopped
1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
1 pound beef flank steak, cut into 6 pieces
2 (14.5 oz) cans beef broth
1 (15.5 oz) can golden or white hominy, rinsed and drained
1 (14.5 oz) can diced tomatoes
1 poblano chile pepper, chopped
1 Tbls. hot chili powder
3 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. ground cumin
1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. shredded cabbage
Crumbled queso fresco
Chopped fresh cilantro
Lime wedges
Sliced hot chile peppers (optional)
In a 4-5 quart slow cooker place potatoes and onion. Top with flank steak. In a medium bowl combine broth, hominy, tomatoes, poblano pepper, chili powder, garlic, cumin and salt. Pour over meat. Cover and cook on low for 7 hours or high 3 1/2 hours.
If using low heat turn to high and add cabbage. Cover and cook on high for 30-60 minutes. Transfer meat to a cutting board. Using two forks, shred meat. Return meat to slow cooker. Serve mixture in bowls topped with queso fresco, cilantro, lime wedges, and if desired sliced peppers.
My note: The flank steak I had on hand was one I had marinated with tomato sauce and carne asida seasoning for tacos and didn't have a chance to cook it so, I froze it that being said I skipped the chili powder. I also, used a serrano pepper in place of the poblano sliced really thin. And I topped it with a mexican blend cheese.
The bearded fella loves cabbage so, this was a hit served with my cheddar, garlic cornbread. This recipe would be equally good with leftover roast. Never had potatoes in a pozole before but, very tasty. Enjoy!!!!
