Rouladen is a German dish that consists of thin slices of beef rolled up with bacon, onions, and pickles inside. The beef rolls are then browned and roasted in the oven until tender and full of flavor. Rouladen is often served with a side of red cabbage and mashed potatoes, making it a hearty and satisfying meal. While the dish requires some patience and skill, the end result is well worth the effort. The combination of savory beef and tangy pickles creates a unique and delicious flavor profile that is sure to impress your dinner guests.

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2.	Take a slice of beef and season with salt and pepper. Spread a thin layer of mustard over one side of the beef.
3.	Top with a slice of bacon, onion quarter, and garlic pickle.
4.	Fold the sides of the beef over the filling and roll up tightly. Secure with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
5.	Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Brown the beef rolls on all sides, then transfer them to a baking dish.

7.	Bake for about 90 minutes, or until the beef is tender and fully cooked. Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.
