- 2 cups beef broth Keeps our roulades moist while they bake and enhances flavor.
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil This will help us brown our roulades beautifully.
- 1 tablespoon flour (optional for thickening) Just in case you want a thicker sauce to drizzle over your meat.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure everything cooks evenly.
- Tenderize the beef steaks and season generously with salt and pepper.
- Spread mustard all over the beef for added flavor.
- Lay down bacon slices, followed by thinly sliced onions and pickle strips on top of the mustard.
- Roll the beef steaks tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Cooking
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat and sear the roulades until browned all over.
- Transfer the browned roulades to a baking dish and pour beef broth over them.
- Cover with foil and bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours, until the beef is tender.
- For a thicker sauce, whisk in flour into the broth after baking.
Notes
Let the roulades rest for a few minutes before serving to keep them juicy. Pair with creamy mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, and a green salad for a complete meal. Store leftovers in an airtight container.
