Baja Steak

This recipe came from the book 'Super-Fast Slow Cooking'. It is very good.

1-1/2 Lbs Boneless beef round steak, cut into serving-size pieces (We used top round steak)
2 cups frozen corn
18 oz jar chunky garden salsa
15 oz can of black beans (I used Kuner's Southwest Black Beans with cumin and chili spices)
1 onion, chopped
1/2 cup water
1/2 tsp salt
Optional: 1/8 tsp red pepper flakes

Place beef in slow cooker. Add the remaining ingredients. Cover and cook on low setting until the meat is done. To book says 8-9 hours. I cooked if for 6-7 hours. 

Optional Items: 
Tortillas (I warmed them in a pan on medium heat flipping them while heating them)
Tomatoes
Cheese
Lettuce
Knorr's Fiesta Sides Mexican Rice
Salsa/Taco Sauce

We took the Baja Steak and put it in the tortilla with the rice and topped it with cheese, tomatoes, lettuce and salsa. Yum!
