Italian Beef & Broccoli Rabe Savory Crostata

• 1 1/2 pounds london broil
• 1 onion quartered
• 2 carrots peeled, cut in half
• 2 stalks celery cut in half
• 5 cloves garlic crushed
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 cup water
• 1 refrigerated pie crust round
• 1/2 bunch broccoli rabe remove some of the stem
• 1 1/2 cups beef prepared shredded
• 3/4 cup provolone shredded

1. Into the slow cooker... pour in the water, onion, carrots, celery, garlic and bay leaf. Season the London broil with Italian seasoning and place on top of the veggies.
2. Set the slow cooker on low for 5 hours. At the end, remove the bay leaf, I leave the veggies in tact in there. Shred the meat right in the pot and let it soak up all that yummy broth. Now I dare you to not dip your fingers in there and have a taste! ;-)
3. Now for the savory crostata! Preheat your oven to 385 degrees.
4. Cook the broccoli rabe in boiling salted water until tender. Drain very well, you do not want mud moisture when you put it on the pie dough. I season lightly with salt, pepper and a little garlic powder.
5. Get some of that fabulous shredded beef, again draining the liquid.
6. Time to assemble! Roll out the dough onto a lined baking sheet. Layer on the shredded cheese, broccoli rabe and the beef leaving a little bit of the edge bare because we are going to fold that up.
7. Fold the edges up slightly, the center will still be open. Press the dough together a bit so it stays in place. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the dough is golden.
