Rouladen is a classic dish in German cuisine that has been enjoyed for generations. Traditionally made using thin beef slices, the steak is filled with a mixture of onions, bacon, and pickles (if desired), then rolled up and cooked until tender. The dish is often served with a rich gravy made from the cooking liquid. While it may take some time to prepare, Rouladen is well worth the effort and is sure to satisfy your appetite.

1.Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C).
2.Pound the steaks lightly with a meat mallet until thin and even in size.
3.Spread chopped onion, bacon, and pickles (if using) evenly across each steak. Sprinkle with dry mustard, salt, pepper, and garlic to taste.
4.Roll up the steak tightly and secure with toothpicks.
5.In a Dutch oven, brown the roll ups on all sides.
