Ingredients

  • 800 g Beef roulade meat (top round), in 4 slices
  • 3 EL Mild mustard
  • 100 g Bacon, streaky, in strips
  • 2 Stück Pickled gherkins
  • 2 Stück Onions
  • 150 g Mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 Stück Carrots
  • 2 EL Tomato paste
  • 2 EL Cooking oil
  • 2 Stück Bay leaves
  • 500 ml Water
  • 2 EL Cornstarch
  • 1 TL Salt
  • Black pepper, to taste

Method

  1. Pound the beef slices flat and season them with salt and pepper. Spread each slice thinly with mustard.
  2. Finely dice one onion and cut the other into rings. Cut the pickled gherkins lengthwise into strips and the carrots into sticks.
  3. Top the roulades with bacon strips, gherkin strips, onion rings, carrot sticks and mushroom slices. Roll up tightly and secure with toothpicks.
  4. Heat the cooking oil in the open pressure cooker and sear the roulades well on all sides. Remove them.
  5. Sweat the diced onions in the drippings until glassy, briefly fry the tomato paste along with them and deglaze with 500 ml water. Add the bay leaves.
  6. Return the roulades to the pot, close the lid and cook for 15 minutes on the highest setting. Then release the pressure slowly.
  7. Take the roulades out and keep them warm. Stir the cornstarch smooth with a little cold water, add it to the sauce and bring to a boil until it thickens. Season with salt and pepper.
  8. Remove the toothpicks and serve the roulades with the sauce.
