Ingredients

• 4 slices Beef (thinly sliced, such as top round or flank steak)
• 4 slices Bacon
• 1 medium Onion (finely chopped)
• 1 small Carrot (finely grated)
• 50 grams Breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parsley (fresh, chopped)
• 1 large Egg (beaten)
• 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 500 milliliters Beef stock
• 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
• 2 tablespoons Flour (for dusting)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 8 pieces Kitchen string or toothpicks

Directions

Step 1

Lay the beef slices flat. Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice.

Step 2

Place a slice of bacon on top of the mustard-coated side of each beef slice.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the chopped onion, grated carrot, breadcrumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. Add the beaten egg to bind the mixture.

Step 4

Spoon a small amount of the filling mixture onto one end of each beef slice. Roll the beef tightly around the filling, tucking in the sides as you go. Secure with kitchen string or toothpicks to keep the rolls intact.

Step 5

Lightly dust the outside of the beef rolls with flour to ensure a good sear.

Step 6

Heat the butter in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the beef rolls and brown on all sides. This will take about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low. Remove the beef rolls from the pan and set aside.

Step 8

In the same skillet, add the tomato paste and cook for 1 minute to deepen its flavor.

Step 9

Gradually pour in the beef stock, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 10

Return the beef rolls to the skillet, ensuring they are at least partially submerged in the sauce.

Step 11

Cover the skillet and let the rolls simmer gently for 40 minutes, turning occasionally, until the beef is tender and the sauce has thickened.

Step 12

Remove the beef rolls from the skillet. If the sauce is too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes to thicken it slightly.

Step 13

Serve the beef rolls hot, spooning the sauce over them. They pair beautifully with mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
