Steps:

• Prepare dumpling mix to package directions*. See note:
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Form several large balls, 2 to 3 inches thick, of dumpling mix. Add to the boiling water then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and render fat by cooking bacon about 3 minutes. As edges just begin to crisp, remove bacon from the skillet and transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Season slices of sirloin with salt and pepper. Spread each slice of meat with a rounded spoonful of mustard. Top mustard with a generous scatter of chopped parsley. Top seasoned and mustard-coated meat with a slice of bacon and a dill pickle spear each. Place the bacon and pickle off center closer to 1 edge of the meat than the other. Roll the steaks around the filling and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Heat a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan, then meat rolls. Cook meat 2 to 3 minutes, then give it a quarter turn. Cook meat a total of 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add butter to the meat pot and melt. Add flour to the butter and whisk together, cooking 2 minutes. Add chicken stock to the flour and butter and scrape up pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream and remove from heat.
• Remove toothpicks or twine from meat. Set meat roll and large dumpling on a dinner plate and cover with sour cream gravy. Quick sauteed cabbage makes a simple side dish, see recipe below.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
• In a small saute pan over medium-low heat, cook the bacon just enough to render the fat, and set aside. Salt and pepper the steaks and lay flat on a large cutting board. Brush the top side of the slices with enough mustard just to coat.
• In a small bowl, toss together half the onion with the pickle relish and the reserved bacon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the onion mixture over the meat. Starting at the short end, roll the meat up jellyroll style, and secure with kitchen twine.
• Heat the oil in a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and brown all sides of the meat. Remove the meat from the pan, and add the remaining onion, carrot and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Deglaze the pan with the wine and then add in the canned tomatoes (with their juice).
• Nestle the meat back into the pan, bring to a simmer, cover and then bake until the meat is tender, about 90 minutes. Turn the meat once halfway through cooking.

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!
