📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 325°.
2
Gently pound out the top round steak between two pieces of plastic wrap or in a plastic zip bag until it is doubled in size, and still about a ¼” thick. Repeat until all the steak is flattened.
3
Next, season one side of the meat with salt and pepper and then brush some Dijon or German mustard in the center of the seasoned beef.

4
Add 2 slices of bacon to the center of the beef onto the mustard and then add on a few sliced onions.

5
Place some julienne pickles on top of the onions.
6
Fold in the sides of the beef and then roll it up tight from back to front.
7
Tie a piece of butcher’s twine, about 1 foot in length, around the center of the rouladen to close it up tight. You can also add an additional knot going in the opposite direction as well if you are worried the inside stuffing may spill out. Repeat the process until all the ingredients are used.
8
Add some clarified butter to a large rondeau or pot and heat to medium-high. Sear the beef on both sides until well browned. You may need to do this in batches if your pot is not big enough.
9
Once browned, set the beef to the side, and add the leeks, onions, celery, carrots, and parsley to the pan and cook for 3 to ⏱️ 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Stir in some tomato paste until it is completely mixed into the vegetables.

Deglaze with red wine and cook until the wine is almost gone, or au sec.

Bake in the oven at 325 for about ⏱️ 90 minutes or until the beef is very tender. It could take an additional ⏱️ 30 minutes.
13
Remove the cooked beef and set aside and strain the braising liquid into a medium-size sauce pot.
14
Simmer the sauce over medium heat for 4 to ⏱️ 5 minutes or until it has slightly reduced and thickened. Finish with butter, salt, and pepper and optional red currant jelly.
