“I filled up the pan with as much boiling water as possible which is meant to be important (I think it helps retain the heat better).”

The heavier the pan the better for the same reason. Something like a dutch oven works well..you can use plastic wrap to moisture seal the lid.

The more dry material you can put around and over the pot the better.

I used to get flank steak, but my husband got me to try the carne asada cut from our local market, and I prefer it. Not sure if it's thin-cut flank or skirt (I'll have to ask), but it looks like this
