TRADITIONAL BEEF ROULADEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place each top round slice between wax paper and pound to tenderize; add salt and pepper and generously spread each with the spicy mustard.
• On the wide part of each piece of meat, place about 5 pieces of the dill pickle spears, some onion and a heaping tablespoon of the browned bacon. Fold in the edges and roll up like a burrito.
• Carefully brown the rolls on all sides in a frying pan. Place in a large pot with the beef stock.
• Put a slice of the raw potatoes between each rolled roulade, making sure the pot is packed tight; the potato slices will hold the roulade together without having to use a string. Cover and bake for about 45 minutes.
• Make your gravy from the drippings by mixing the flour and butter and adding it slowly into the beef stock until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve with red cabbage and potatoes or spaetzle. You can also serve the potatoes that have soaked up all the delicious juices and held together the rouladen.

ROULADEN (GERMAN BEEF ROLLS)

Steps:

• Put the slices of beef between sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a flat mallet without breaking the tissues.
• Lay out pieces of beef in one layer on a flat surface. Spread the top of each with one teaspoon of mustard. Spoon an equal portion of the pork in the center of each piece. Flatten the pork over the center, leaving the margin uncovered. Sprinkle one tablespoon of onion over each portion of pork. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, and cover with one strip of pickle. Wrap the meat around the filling, holding and tucking in the ends in envelope fashion. Tie each bundle neatly in two places with string. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Select a skillet large enough to hold the meat, without crowding, in one layer. Heat the oil and, when it is quite hot but not smoking, add the bundles. Cook, turning the bundles occasionally, about three to five minutes or until nicely browned all over.
• Transfer the bundles to a warm platter and pour off all the fat from the skillet. Return the skillet to the heat. Add the remaining one-half cup chopped onion, carrots and celery, and cook, stirring, until the onion is wilted. Sprinkle with paprika and stir. Add the wine and stir to dissolve the brown particles that cling to the bottom and sides of the skillet. Return the meat rolls to the skillet and add the chicken broth.
• Cover and cook five minutes. Transfer the meat rolls to a warm platter. Remove the strings.
