Ingredients

¼ cup Dijon mustard

8 (4 ounce) pieces round steak, pounded 1/4 inch thick

½ cup minced onion

2 teaspoons paprika

2 teaspoons salt

2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper

8 slices bacon

3 tablespoons canola oil

1 (12 ounce) can beef broth

1 ¼ cups water

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 cup warm water

¼ cup sour cream

Directions

Spread 1/2 tablespoon mustard over one side of each piece of steak; sprinkle onion, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the steaks. Lay one slice of bacon on each piece; roll up steaks jelly roll-style and secure with toothpicks.

Heat canola oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook beef rouladen on all sides until browned. Add broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.

Remove beef rouladen; strain broth mixture and return liquid to the skillet. Whisk cornstarch and 1 cup of water together until smooth; slowly pour cornstarch mixture into the skillet, stirring continually until the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream; return rolls to the sauce and serve immediately.
