the steaks equally. Roll up steaks jelly-roll fashion; secure with
beef-roll clamps, toothpicks, or thread. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan,

Rouladen
Ingredients:
4 sirloin tip steaks - thin
8 slices bacon
8 slices dill pickles (sliced lengthwise)
1 onion, diced
German mustard or brown mustard
salt
pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
3 cups beef broth
1/4 cup tomato paste
1/4 cup half and half
1/4 cup evaporated skim milk
Directions:
Pound the steaks with a meat tenderizer/mallot until about 1/8" thick.
Season the steaks with salt and pepper. Spread mustard thickly on one
side on each steak. Place two slices of bacon and two pickle slices
on each steak. Divide the onion evenly onto each steak. Starting from
the narrowest end of each steak, roll tightly (jelly roll style) and
secure with string.
Heat oil in a heavy saucepan. Brown the meat rolls well on all sides.
Add about 1 cup of water to the saucepan, cover and simmer for 1 1/2
hours.Add more water if needed. Remove the meat from the pan. Add the
beef broth to the liquid the meat was cooked in. Keep boiling until
liquid is reduced by one third of its original size. Whisk in tomato
paste, half and half, and evaporated skim milk, careful to not let it
boil (to avoid curdling). Season with salt and pepper. Return the meat
to the pan and warm through

Rouladen
Ingredients:
round steak 4" x 8" (thinly sliced - 1/8-1/4 inch thickness) (1-2 strips
per person)
chopped onion (quantity according to individual taste)
chopped bacon (1-2 slices per beef strip)
chopped dill pickles (1-2 thin slices per beef strip)
beef broth ( 1 can per 3-4 people )
brown gravy mix ( package per 3-4 people)
Directions:
Put chopped (uncooked) bacon, onion & pickles on top of round steak strips,
roll tightly and skewer with a couple of tooth picks to keep together.
Spray skillet with cooking spray & brown both sides. Heat beef broth &
brown gravy mix in pot. Place browned meat into a cooking pan and pour
broth/gravy over meat making sure it is immersed at least 75% or more.
(I add mushrooms to the gravy). Cook in the oven for about 45 minutes to
an hour at approx 350 degrees. After cooking save the gravy to pour over
the meat and spetzel, noodles, dumplings or potatoes you may want to serve
with it.
Notes: The second time you make this, make adjustments on portions based
upon your first attempt. Increase cooking time for lower temperatures.
(some suggest simmering in broth/gravy for 2 hours which may result in a
more tender meat)
I have an aluminum mold I got at a yard sale. I was told that during the
depression and/or war times ladies used these molds to make "mock" chops - I
couldn't find any recipes, so I have no idea what they used. I am sure they
were fried (possible baked), Can you offer any help at all?? Thanks for your
time. Respectfully Yours; Liza
-------------------------------------------
I Don't know if anyone answered this, but think it might be a "cutlet" mold,
I recently downloaded the Fanny Farmer Cook Book that was referenced on the site
in 2006 archives, and in it, it gives recipes for making cutlets in a mold. This
was the 1918 edition I do believe or possibly before that, so the cutlets were
being molded before the depression.

Hi. Hope you can help. We have a local restaurant called Maddox
(family owned), and their rolls are incredible. they bake them in
a cupcake / muffin tin, I think. My guess is they are dropped in
from a very sticky dough, so not kneaded or rolled. They are light
as air and very flavorful. So I'm looking for a no knead, no roll,
drop dinner roll. Make sense? Can you help. I swear I'd marry one
of the Maddox owners to get the recipe! Thanks. Sherry

Many years ago my brother used to take me to a drive-in restaurant in New
Lebanon, Ohio for a wonderful, tender beef (I think possibly slow cooked
round steak) sandwich they called a peppersteak. If I remember correctly,
it had been cooked in a brown/tomato sauce.
The restaurant was the called "The Toot Restaurant". Customers would pull
in, toot the horn and a car hop would come out and take their order.
If there is any way you can come up with a recipe for this great sandwich,
my taste buds will be forever grateful.
