Ingredients

  • 24 ounces marinara sauce (3 cups)
  • 2 pounds flank steak
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil divided
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 4-5 garlic cloves minced
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese plus more for garnish
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Pour your marinara sauce into the slow cooker.
  2. Place flank steak on a large cutting board and spread a little olive oil over the top of the meat, then season it with salt & pepper.
  3. For the filling: add breadcrumbs, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and salt & pepper to a small bowl. Stir to combine. Spoon the filling on top of the seasoned flank steak, making sure it is evenly distributed.
  4. Use either kitchen twine or toothpicks to secure all three sides of the braciole, ensuring that you don't lose that yummy filling!
  5. Heat olive oil in hot skillet, and sear all sides of the braciole, then nestle it into the marinara sauce in the slow cooker. Cook on high for 4-4.5 hours, or low for 6-6.5 hours. At the end of cooking time, it should be nice and tender, and easy to slice. If it's not, keep cooking. When it's ready, slice the meat into 1-inch slices, serve over pasta with the marinara and garnish with chopped, fresh parsley and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
