From the German in me :)
 
With mom in the hospital for the last month, I decided it was high time my family started to observe some of the traditions I enjoyed as a kid.

Like most American families we always did the ham / turkey thing on Christmas Day. But my mom would always make this dish on Christmas Eve.

It's a great dish to use any lean and usually tough meat on.

Roulades with Kasse spaetzle


6 thinly sliced 1/4 in eye round steaks
6 pickle spears
6 slices of a good smokey bacon
Dijon mustard
Seasonings to taste

Take your steaks and pound them out till they are real thin, spread some Dijon place slice of bacon and then pickle roll the whole thing up tightly

Get large oven safe pot heated, add butter and sear / brown the roulades for 5 minutes. Then add just enough water to nearly cover the roulades. Add a beef concentrate cube and put in a 375 degree oven for most of an hour

When done take roulades out of sauce and thicken sauce up with gravy mix. Serve over spaetzle that you browned in some butter with onion and some cheddar cheese shredded in it. Easy enough to make the spaetzle just a mix of 2 cups flour 1 cup milk and 4 eggs then drops bits of the wet dough into boiling water for about 4 minutes.

Will update this post later w the finished product but here are some pics of the process and some of my german Christmas remembrances

meat and pickles huh...... I'd try it.

It sounds like a strange combo... but the dijon, bacon, and pickle wrapped up and baked inside the beef just works great...

trust me i know it sounds odd.. :)
