Rouladen
Anita's Family Recipe
Ingredients:
4 slices of sirloin tip, about 8” in diameter and ¼” thick.
Mustard ( I am partial to Grey Poupon Dijon)
1 med onion quartered
2 dill pickles halved ( Clausin's are best)
4 slices bacon folded in half
Salt and pepper
Sour cream, few mushrooms and a tomato are optional. ( I like them for nice gravy) |

After you pat dry the meat, put each slice on the counter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then spread some mustard on each slice and add 1 slice of bacon folded in half, then 1/2 pickle and 1/4 onion.
Roll end to end and wrap some dental floss as if to make a package.
Pat dry again and brown in a pan just large enough to hold all rolls side by side.
Turn until nicely browned. Then add water just to cover. You may add a tomato and a few mushrooms if you like.
Simmer until tender. Remove floss.
Thicken gravy with flour and add a little sour cream. Replace rouladen and serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable. Berliner's prefer carrots and peas mixed, green beans or red cabbage with this meat.
