Rouladen
Anita's Family Recipe

I was born and raised in Berlin and came here in 1960. This is how my mom did Rouladen in Berlin. Yummy I can promise you. Cook them a day or two before for wonderful blended flavors. .. Anita

From Stephen ,
This recipe for Rouladen is unique in that Anita's mother kept the bacon and the pickle and the onion in large chunks so that in a large family one could pull out any part of it that they didn't enjoy. There are those that just can't seem to get beyond the idea of having a pickle in a beef dish, and some unfortunate people develop an aversion to onions. ( This is my biased view of food as I truly love onions)

After you pat dry the meat, put each slice on the counter and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Then spread some mustard on each slice and add 1 slice of bacon folded in half, then 1/2 pickle and 1/4 onion.   

Roll end to end and wrap some dental floss as if to make a package.

Pat dry again and brown in a pan just large enough to hold all rolls side by side.

Turn until nicely browned. Then add water just to cover. You may add a tomato and a few mushrooms if you like.
Simmer until tender. Remove floss.

Thicken gravy with flour and add a little sour cream. Replace rouladen and serve with mashed potatoes and your favorite vegetable. Berliner's prefer carrots and peas mixed, green beans or red cabbage with this meat.
