Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
8 Beef, thin slices
1 t Cornstarch
Mustard, prepared
1 t Paprika
4 oz Bacon, uncooked -- diced
1 c Tomato puree
1/2 c Onion -- diced
1 tb Lemon juice
8 tb Oil
Sour cream -- (optional)
1 c -- Water, boiling
Creme fraiche -- (optional)

Cut thin slices of roasting beef to around 4 x 6
inches off a roast. It is best to cut the meat WITH
the grain of the meat, so the slices will hold
together. Pound the slices lightly to flatten and
tenderize them. Brush lightly with prepared mustard.
Then sprinkle the slices with salt and freshly ground
black pepper to taste. In a small bowl mix together
the diced bacon and diced onions. Spread the mixture
on the meat slices. Then, starting at the narrow end,
roll up the meat slices and secure them with skewers,
toothpicks, or string.

Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Brown the rolls well in
the oil. Add about 1 cup of boiling water to the pot
VERY CAREFULLY! Cover the meat and braise gently until
done, about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Add water as needed to
keep level fairly constant. When the meat is cooked,
remove the rolls to a hot plate and thicken the gravy
with corn starch and season to taste. The sauce may be
seasoned with paprika, tomato puree, lemon juice, sour
cream, and/or creme fraiche.

Serve this with a potato or pasta dish.
