Step 1

Grease a 6 quart crockpot with cooking spray, then pour in olive oil. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium sized bowl, whisk together brown sugar, chili powder, ranch mix, paprika, salt, and cayenne. This is our spice rub.

Step 3

Rub a few spoonfuls of the spice rub onto the steak to fully coat it.

Step 4

Place steak into the prepared crockpot, then sprinkle on remaining spice rub.

Step 5

Cover and cook on HIGH for 4 hours or LOW for 8 hours.

Step 6

Remove steak from the crockpot and use a sharp knife to slice it into strips against the grain (this will basically shred your steak, but will prevent it from creating long and stringy pieces).

Step 7

Serve as desired - on a bun, in a quesadilla, over mashed potatoes, on top of Mac and cheese, as nachos, etc. with a drizzle of homemade honey mustard sauce, if desired!
