700g beef
2 tbsp grainy mustard
200g smoked bacon, cut into strips
200g gherkin, cut into thin strips
200g brown onion, cut into strips
½L beef stock

Preparation

Cut the beef into 4 to 6 pieces and pound until thin.

Spread each slice of beef with the mustard. On each slice place a piece of bacon, gherkin and some onion.

Roll up the beef slices and secure them with toothpicks.

Heat some oil in a deep frying pan and fry the beef roulades until brown on each side.

Add ½ cup of beef stock. Simmer for 1 hour or until cooked, adding more stock when necessary. Season to taste.

Serve with Silesian dumplings and mashed beetroot.

Beef Roulades

Have made this many times over the years - same recipe as handed down from my German heritage. They're even better the next day with a gravy made using the juice from the Sweet & Sour Gherkin jar - YUM!

Beef Roulades

Made this only last week. Exact same recipe handed down from my German mother. Very tasty and the meat is 'melt in your mouth' tender! Smoked belly pork sliced thinly goes well and I still use my grandmothers twine for securing the roulades! The more you brown them, the tastier the gravy will be.

Hot Tips

Peeling and de-seeding tomatoes

To peel and de-seed a tomato, score a small cross in the base of the tomato with your knife; plunge in boiling water for 1 minute, refresh under cold water (running water seems to make peeling easier too); cut in half and scoop out seeds with a dessert spoon.

Glossary

Akudjura

Also known as bush tomatoes or desert raisins, these tiny tomato-like berries are yellow when ripe but are mostly available commercially in dried form - whole or ground - as a brownish-red fruit with a taste similar to sun-dried tomatoes.
