Tonight’s dinner is a big hit with family and friends, but sometimes I just want to enjoy this meal by myself. It does take a bit more planning and preparation than most of my recipes, but the results are worth the effort. Basically, rouladen is a German dish of thin beef steak slathered with stone ground mustard and wrapped around bacon, onions, carrot, and pickle, then seared and braised until tender.
