Ingredients

• 1/4 cup Dijon mustard
• 8 slices top round steak, 1/4 inch thick (about 2 pounds)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 8 bacon strips
• 1 large onion, cut into thin wedges
• 3 tablespoons cooking oil
• 3 cups beef broth
• 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup water

Preparation

Step 1

Lightly spread mustard on each slice of steak; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place 1 bacon strip and a few onion wedges on each slice; roll up and secure with wooden picks. Brown in a skillet in oil; drain. Add broth; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until meat is tender. Remove meat and keep warm. Combine flour and water until smooth; stir into broth. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Remove wooden picks from meat and return to gravy; heat through. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.
