Main Ingredients

  • 4 slices Thin slices of top round steak The star of the show! This cut is lean yet tender.
  • 1 tablespoon Spicy brown mustard Adds a delightful tanginess and depth of flavor.
  • 4 strips Bacon Brings a smoky richness.
  • 2 pieces Pickles Adds crunch and acidity.
  • 1 medium Onion For sweetness and aroma.
  • 2 cups Beef broth For the gravy.
  • 2 tablespoons Flour Used to thicken the gravy.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Basic seasoning.
  • 1 teaspoon Black pepper Basic seasoning.

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  • Lay out the thin slices of top round steak on a clean surface and spread a thin layer of spicy brown mustard on each slice.
  • Place strips of bacon, pickles, and chopped onions on top of the mustard.
  • Carefully roll each slice tightly and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  • Heat a skillet over medium heat and brown the rouladen on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
  • Remove the rouladen from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

Cooking

  • In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth.
  • Return the rouladen to the skillet, cover, and transfer to the preheated oven. Bake for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
  • When done, carefully serve the rouladen with the gravy poured over the top.

Notes

For extra heat, consider adding some crushed red pepper flakes to the mustard. Let rouladen sit for a few minutes before slicing for juicier meat.
