INGREDIENTS:
2-1/2
pounds round steak, 1/8 inch thick
3/4
pound ground pork
1
teaspoon poultry seasoning
3/4
teaspoon salt
1/2
clove garlic, crushed
2
Tablespoons finely chopped onion
1/4
pound salt pork, sliced thinly into 8 slices; or
8
slices bacon
3
Tablespoons butter
1-1/2
pounds whole, small white onions, peeled
1/3
cup flour
1
Tablespoon meat extract paste
1
can beef bouillon, undiluted
2-1/2
cups red wine
1-1/2
pounds fresh mushrooms
1
bay leaf
1
Tablespoon chopped parsley
TO
PREPARE:
Wipe
beef with damp paper towels; cut into 8 pieces (approximately 4 inches
by 6 inches). Combine ground pork, poultry seasoning, salt, garlic
and chopped onion. Toss lightly to mix well. Place about 2
Tablespoons of mixture on each piece of beef; roll up, starting roll on
short side of steak slice. Wrap each roll with a thin strip of salt
pork or bacon and tie with a heavy thread. In hot butter in a Dutch
oven, brown the roulades on all sides, removing them as they brown.
Add the whole onions and brown on all sides. Remove pan from heat.
Stir in flour and meat extract paste. Gradually stir in bouillon
and wine. Bring to boiling point, stirring constantly. Return
roulades to Dutch oven. Add mushrooms and bay leaf. Bake, covered,
in a 350 degree oven for 2 hours, or until meat is tender. If sauce
seems thick, thin with a little more wine. To serve, discard bay
leaf and remove thread from roulades. Arrange in center of a large
heated platter. Surround with the onions and mushrooms. Sprinkle
with chopped parsley. Allow 1 to 2 roulades per person.
SERVINGS:
8 roulades
