(ALMOST) MY GRANDMA'S ROULADEN: MELISSA D'ARABIAN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a Dutch oven over medium-low heat, cook the bacon crisp to render the fat. Once the bacon is cooked, remove from pan and set aside. Reserve the rendered bacon fat in pan.
• Begin prepping the meat: If the meat is too thick, you may butterfly to make thinner.
• Salt and pepper the steaks and lay flat on a large cutting board. Pound to tenderize. Flatten to 1/2" if possible. Flip & pound the other side. Repeat as necessary to ensure thinness. I like to cover the meat over & under with a piece of clear plastic wrap to minimize messiness while tenderizing the meat.
• Brush the top side of the slices with enough mustard just to coat.
• Spread with dill pickle relish and bacon / lardons.
• Sprinkle HALF the onion on top of the pickle relish.
• Starting at the short end, roll the meat up jellyroll style, and secure with kitchen twine in 3-4 places. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
• Reheat the bacon fat to the Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the meat and brown all sides of the meat.
• Remove the meat from the pan. Add oil if necessary and add the remaining onion, carrot and celery; cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute.
• Deglaze the pan with the wine. Scrape up any bits off the bottom of the pan, then add in the canned tomatoes with their juice. Add the beef stock.
• Nestle the meat back into the pan, bring to a simmer, cover and bake until the meat is tender, about 90 minutes. Turn the meat once halfway through cooking. If you need to add a bit more stock, do so. The sauce will be on the thick side and full of the veggies.
• Let rest for 5-10 minutes. Do not remove the twine just yet.
• Slice meat 1" thick with the twine in place or not. It will be fall apart tender and the beef may shred. No worries, it still tastes fantastic! I would suggest using a sharp knife or an electric knife.
• Serve with mashed potatoes, YUM! Ladle the sauce over the meat and potatoes. Enjoy!
