Rouladen

I think this is one of my older son's favorite dishes. He is such a carnivore!

What you need:

2 packages of rouladen meat. (It looks like a typical round steak, but is cut into thin slices, about 1/4 - 1/3 inch thick. You will need about 6 - 8 slices.)

1 onion, thinly sliced
6-8 slices of bacon (the same number as your steak slices)
grainy dijon mustard
salt & pepper
1 carton (qt) beef broth
toothpicks
flour or cornstarch
olive or vegetable oil

Take the slices of beef, and cut them in half, making 12-16 slices. Cut the bacon slices in half, making the same number of pieces.
Take one piece and lightly salt & pepper it. Spread about 2 tsp mustard over the slice.
Now place a bacon slice along one edge.
Top the bacon with some slices of onion.
Roll the meat up, with the bacon in the middle, and secure with toothpicks.

Repeat with all of the meat pieces.

Heat a couple tablespoons of oil in a large skillet. Brown the meat rolls on all sides. Remove to a platter. Drain and wipe the grease from the skillet. Place the meat rolls back into the skillet, and pour the beef broth into the pan. Bring it to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cover. Let this simmer 1 1/2 - 2 hours.

When finished, remove rolls to a serving platter, and make a gravy out of the broth.
- bring broth to a boil, and whisk in a mixture of about 1/3 c water & 3 Tb flour. Whisk smooth.

Enjoy!
