Number Of Ingredients 9

2 (26 ounce) jars marinara sauce
2 eggs, beaten
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, pounded to 1/4 inch
1 teaspoon kosher salt
ground black pepper
5 slices bacon
1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Pour the marinara sauce into the slow cooker and set on High to warm.
  • Combine the eggs and the breadcrumbs in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with salt and pepper. Pat the breadcrumb mixture over one side of the flank steak, leaving about a one inch border around edges. Top breadcrumbs with the bacon slices; sprinkle with shredded cheese. Starting from one long side, tightly roll flank steak into a log. Use string or toothpicks to secure the log in 4 or 5 places.

BEEF BRACIOLE



Beef Braciole image

My great-aunt used to make the most amazing braciole, but it was a laborious and time-consuming effort. I took her basic recipe and transformed it into a slow cooker version, making it easier for today's hurried world. My great-aunt always served the flank steak sliced over orzo that had been tossed with olive oil and Romano cheese. Delicioso!-Lisa Renshaw, Kansas City, Missouri
