Hearty Beef Rouladen

• 2 large onions, sliced
• 4 tablespoons canola oil, divided
• 6 bacon strips
• 6 beef top round steaks or beef sirloin steaks (1/4 pound each)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 6 dill pickle spears
• 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1-1/3 cups water
• 4 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 tablespoon butter, melted
• Hot cooked noodles

1. In a large skillet, saute onions in 2 tablespoons of oil until tender; remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
2. Pound steaks to 1/4-in. thickness; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread with mustard and top with onions. Place a pickle at one short end and a bacon strip lengthwise on top. Roll up jelly-roll style; secure with toothpicks. Set aside 1 tablespoon flour for thickening. Coat the roll-ups with remaining flour.
3. In the same skillet, cook roll-ups in remaining oil over medium heat until browned on all sides. Add the water, bouillon, thyme and bay leaf. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until meat is tender.
4. Remove roll-ups and keep warm. Combine butter and reserved flour; add to the pan juices. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf and toothpicks. Serve beef and gravy with noodles.
