Sausage-Stuffed Flank Steak
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Cook: 6 hours
YIELD: 4 servings.
As part of a prize I won for a recipe contest, I received a slow cooker. I hadn’t used one in years, so I didn’t have any recipes on hand. This tasty beef was my first creation, and it was a hit with my family. —Julie Merriman, Seattle, Washington
