Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb thinly slices round steak--8 slices
  • 3/4 cup finely diced onion
  • 8 slices cooked bacon
  • 8 dill pickle spears
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp pepper
  • 1 tbs butter
  • 1 tbs oil
  • 1 cup beef stock
  • 2 tbs flour
  • 1/2 cup water

Instructions

  • Pound round steaks with a meat mallet to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Heat the butter in a large skillet. Add the onion and cook until it's just translucent. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • Divide the onion evenly over each pounded round steak. Place a slice of bacon over the onion then place a dill pickle spear over that. Roll up and secure each roll with a toothpick.
  • In the same skillet you cooked the onions in, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef rolls on all sides.
  • Add the beef stock to the pan, heat to boiling then reduce heat to simmer, cover and cook for 45 minutes or until the beef is tender.
  • Mix the flour and water so there are no lumps.
  • Remove the beef rolls from the pan and whisk in the flour/water mixture. Cook for 5 minutes. Add the beef rolls back to the pan and heat for 5 minutes to heat through.

Notes

What I do is get an eye of round roast and slice of thin slices then pound them down very thinly.
For UK readers--the bacon is streaky bacon.
