6 thin slices beef (can use round steak or flank steak) 3x6" pieces
Mustard (preferably a mild German mustard)
Salt
Pepper
6 slices bacon
6 slices onion
Dill pickle slices or carrots

1. Spread beef slices thinly with mustard.

2. Add a little salt and pepper, put one slice of bacon, onion, pickle slices or a carrot on each slice of beef. Roll up each slice of beef. Secure with toothpick.

3. Brown rouladen in butter or oil.

4. Add about 1 cup of water and cover pan.

5. Cook over low heat until meat is tender (1 1/2 to 2 hours, depending on the cut of the meat). Add water, if necessary.

6. For sauce, add 1-2 teaspoons of cornstarch, together with a little water and 2 tablespoons of sweet or sour cream. Add to pan drippings.

Rouladen are traditionally served with boiled potatoes and red cabbage. Any other vegetable will do.
