Success! A crock pot triumph

Night number two here at our house. This was another crock pot night. I found this recipe in a little supplement I picked up in line at the grocery store last month (see a theme here... Jewel could make a fortune on my impulse purchases... oh wait, they already do). Anyhow, these fajitas were great. Some of the ingredients sounded a bit odd, and of course I improvised a bit, but overall the results were excellent. Loved by all. I cooked them for 5 hours before shredding and then turned it to "warm" for the last hour. Rounded out the meal with refried beans and some chips and salsa. Ole!

Zippy Beef Fajitas:

1 flank steak, cut into 4 quarters
2 t. ground ginger
2 t. crushed red pepper flakes (I used 1 for family purposes)
3/4 t. garlic powder (I used 1 cause I love garlic)
2 peppers, cut into strips
12 oz. cola (in fajitas?? really? but it was good... suggest beer would be a fine alternative here)
5 green onions, chopped
1/3 c. soy sauce
grated fresh ginger (I'd go light next time and I added some cumin cause I like that flavor in fajitas... recipe called for 2 T., maybe do a pinch along with a T. of cumin)
2 T. tomato paste

Combine the ginger, crushed pepper and garlic. Rub on steak. Place steak in bottom of crock pot. Top with peppers. Combine remaining ingredients and pour over beef. Let cook on low for 6-7 hours. Shred beef and return to sauce. Remove with a slotted spoon and serve on warm tortillas.
