Rouladen is one of Germany’s most famous and delicious dishes!
Rouladen are thinly sliced lean beef pieces filled with bacon, onions, mustard and pickles, then held together with toothpicks and browned and simmered in a fantastic gravy. They are also fairly easy to make.
Ingredients
· 1/4 cup of Dijon mustard
· 8 slices beef top round steak (1/4 inch thick, 4 ounces each)

· 3 cups beef broth
· 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Directions
