•
2 (26 ounce) jars marinara sauce

2 eggs, beaten
•
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
•
1 (1 1/2-pound) flank steak, pounded to 1/4 inch

1 teaspoon kosher salt

5 slices bacon

1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
•
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
Directions
1
Pour marinara sauce into the slow cooker and set on High to warm.

Combine eggs and bread crumbs in a small bowl. Sprinkle both sides of the flank steak with salt and pepper. Pat bread crumb mixture over one side of flank steak, leaving a 1-inch border around the edges. Top bread crumbs with bacon slices and 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.

Turn slow cooker to Low; cook steak log until very tender, 6 to 8 hours. Remove string/toothpicks before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce.
