Ingredients

• 600 g Beef top round or sirloin
• 1 tbsp Kosher salt
• 1 tsp Black pepper
• 4 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 4 pieces Bacon slices
• 2 pieces Dill pickles
• 1 medium Onion
• 2 tbsp Butter
• 1 tbsp All-purpose flour
• 500 ml Beef stock
• 200 ml Sour cream
• 2 tbsp Fresh dill (optional, for garnish)
• 2 tbsp Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

Place the beef slices between two pieces of parchment paper and gently pound them with a meat mallet until they are approximately 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Season both sides of the beef with kosher salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of Dijon mustard over one side of each slice of beef.

Step 4

Place a slice of bacon, a thin strip of dill pickle, and a sliver of onion on each slice of beef. Roll the beef tightly around the filling, securing it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Step 5

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the beef roulades on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the roulades from the pan and set them aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Step 7

Stir in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux.

Step 8

Gradually pour in the beef stock, whisking continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer.

Step 9

Return the roulades to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the sauce. Cover and simmer on low heat for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is tender.

Step 10

Remove the roulades from the sauce and carefully discard the toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Step 11

Stir the sour cream into the sauce, ensuring it is fully incorporated. Heat gently, but do not allow the sauce to boil.

Step 12

Return the roulades to the skillet to warm through, then serve garnished with fresh dill if desired.
