Notes
To turn this into a freezer meal:
In a small bowl, combine the chili powder, cumin, coriander, salt and pepper. Rub the spice mixture over all sides of the flank steak, place it in a gallon-sized freezer bag, and add the soy sauce, jalapeno, garlic, bell peppers, and onion. Close the bag and squeeze out as much air as possible and seal bag closed. Place freezer bag into freezer and it will last 60-90 days. When ready to use, spray inside of slow cooker with non-stick cooking spray and dump ingredients from bag into slow cooker. Place the lid on top and cook for 8-10 hours on low heat (you can cook it for 5-6 hours on high heat, but it will not be as tender as cooking it low and slow. We highly recommend low and slow!). Follow the rest of the instructions as written.
