Roladen

My butcher in California knows how to cut thin slices of beef for the roladen.

Ingredients:

• Four thin slices of beef
• Salt and pepper
• Dijon mustard
• One to two onions, finely sliced
• One tomato
• One pickle, finely sliced
• Oil
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Water

Directions:

1. Salt and pepper each slice of beef
2. Then place mustard, some onion, a piece of tomato, and a slice of pickle on each slice of beef
3. Roll up each piece of meat, along with the ingredients covering it
4. Fasten each roladen closed with a meat needle or toothpicks
5. Heat oil in pan
6. Roll the roladen very lightly in the flour
7. Put them all in the pan and brown them on all sides
8. Let roladen simmer about 1.5 to 2 hours
9. Add water every so often, as necessary
10. After simmering, remove roladen from pan and combine the sauce remaining in the pan with the rest of the flour, adding salt, if needed, for flavor
11. Place roladen on plate and cover with sauce
