German+Rouladen

Rouladen are a German specialty and are made out of sandwich-thin beef steaks rolled up around a variety of fillings. In order to prepare Rouladen, follow these steps: 1. Preheat oven to 400F. 2. Season each steak with salt and pepper. 3. Then spread some mustard (preferably German or deli-style spicy mustard mustard) on one side of the steak. 4. Top it with two slices of fried bacon, some fresh cut onion rings (about 1/2 small onion) and about 6 slices of pickles (I like the Claussen Kosher Dills). 5. Roll up the steak, so it's filled with all the ingredients. Fasten the ends with some toothpicks. You can use toothpicks or metal rings to hold the center of each Rouladen together as necessary. 6. In a pan heat up some bacon grease and brown the rouladen on all sides. 7. Transfer the rouladen into a dish which you can put in the oven and add either water, so you get your own gravy stock, or do as I do and use Knorr Classic Brown mix. Add enough liquid so the rouladen are halfway covered. 8. Cover the dish and bake them in the oven for about 1 1/2 hours. 9. Enjoy! :)
