Beef Rolls (Rindsrouladen) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 slices beef top round steak (1/2-inch thick)
salt and pepper, to taste
prepared mustard
3 onions, finely chopped
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 large dill pickle, sliced
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1 tablespoon flour
dry red wine

Preparation

Season beef slices with salt and pepper; spread thinly with mustard. Using about 2/3 of the onion, sprinkle beef slices evenly
with onion, bacon and pickle. Roll up slices and secure with skewers, toothpicks or string.
Heat shortening in a medium skillet. Add beef rolls; saute until well browned, turning occasionally. Add remaining onion; saute until light golden brown. Add tomato paste and stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Cover and simmer about 1 hour. To thicken sauce, combine flour and a small amount of wine. Stir flour mixture into cooking liquid. Cook, stirring, until slightly thickened. Remove skewers.
