Rouladen
- 2 pounds Flank Steak
- 2 Tablespoons Mustard
- 1/2 teaspoons Ground Black Pepper
- 4 slices Dill Pickles
- 4 slices Bacon
- 2 Tablespoons Oil
- 1/2 cups Water
- 2 cups Water Or No Salt Beef Broth
- 2 Tablespoons Flour, Mixed With Water To Thicken The Sauce Into Gravy
- Unroll the steak if its rolled up or folded and flatten it out with your hands.
- Spread the mustard in a thin layer over the inside of the steak.
- Add the pepper.
- Place the dill pickles and then the bacon on top of the mustard.
- Roll up lengthwise and tie together with some butchers twine, keeping the bacon and pickles inside.
- You can also use toothpicks to close this up.
- Brown in a little oil and then place in an oven safe pan or a crockpot.
- Add the water or no-salt-added beef broth to the skillet to deglaze it, then add that to the container you are cooking the meat in.
- Cover and cook in a regular oven for 2 1/2 hours or in a crockpot for 6-8 hours on low.
- (Note: If cooking in the oven, turn the flank steak a couple of times.
- This keeps the top from drying out too badly.)
- Remove meat at the end of cooking, and make a gravy with the sauce.
- You may need to cut the sauce with some more water, as this is a very flavourful sauce.
- Thicken with a slurry of flour and water added to the sauce.
- Slice across to serve in thin slices.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and your choice of vegetable.
