Anna Marias Rouladen Rachael Ray Recipes

ANNA MARIA'S ROULADEN

Steps:

• Prepare dumpling mix to package directions*. See note:
• Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Form several large balls, 2 to 3 inches thick, of dumpling mix. Add to the boiling water then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
• Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and render fat by cooking bacon about 3 minutes. As edges just begin to crisp, remove bacon from the skillet and transfer to paper towels to drain.
• Season slices of sirloin with salt and pepper. Spread each slice of meat with a rounded spoonful of mustard. Top mustard with a generous scatter of chopped parsley. Top seasoned and mustard-coated meat with a slice of bacon and a dill pickle spear each. Place the bacon and pickle off center closer to 1 edge of the meat than the other. Roll the steaks around the filling and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Heat a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan, then meat rolls. Cook meat 2 to 3 minutes, then give it a quarter turn. Cook meat a total of 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add butter to the meat pot and melt. Add flour to the butter and whisk together, cooking 2 minutes. Add chicken stock to the flour and butter and scrape up pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream and remove from heat.
• Remove toothpicks or twine from meat. Set meat roll and large dumpling on a dinner plate and cover with sour cream gravy. Quick sauteed cabbage makes a simple side dish, see recipe below.

Steps:

• In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until just crispy; remove and set aside.
• Add the butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet with the bacon drippings, then saute the sliced mushrooms until they soften and begin to get crispy - cook them to your desired texture; remove and set aside.
• Season the thin slices of meat with salt and pepper, then spread 1 tablespoon of Dijon over each slice and sprinkle each with 1 tablespoon parsley.
• Near the bottom edge of each slice of meat, place 1 slice of cooked bacon and a pickle spear.
• Roll the slices of meat up around the fillings and secure closed with a toothpick or kitchen twine.
• Over medium-high heat in a skillet, heat the extra virgin olive oil then add the secured meat rolls and sear and cook the rolls on 4 sides, about 3 minutes per turn; remove rolls and set aside.
• Add the 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and let it melt, then sprinkle in the flour and stir it together with a whisk for 2 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock and whisk, scraping the sides and bottom of the pan to get the browned bits.
• Add the cooked mushrooms, season sauce with salt and pepper, stir in the sour cream until well incorporated, and remove from heat.
• Remove the toothpicks or twine securing the meat, transfer rolls to serving platter, pour the mushrooms and sauce over the rolls, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
• Note: Rachel makes sauteed red cabbage to go with this; you could also make buttered noodles to go with, if you like.
