SUPER EASY!

Overnight place a Flank Steak (1-3 lbs) in a ziplock bag with:
1/2 cup of soy sauce (i use GF Tamari)
1/2 cup of organic raw honey

next morning pour the liquid from the overnight into the crock, and make cheese filling:
add:
1 chopped apple
1/3 cup chopped almonds
3/4 cup of goat cheese (with fig, or any goat or feta cheese you like)

place cheese filling on top of the flank steak and roll the steak up.
place into the crock so the steak maintains its filling inside the roll.

Cook for 6-8 hours on low.
