Prepare the filling for the beefsteaks by cutting the cucumbers and chopping them well.

Chop the onions and set aside.

Cut the carrots, celery, leeks, and onions into small pieces and chop the garlic cloves.

Cover the beefsteaks with cling film and pound each one to give more space for the filling.

Season each beefsteak with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika.

Spread 2 teaspoons of mustard on each beefsteak.

Distribute the chopped bacon, cucumbers, and onions on the beefsteaks.

Fold the sides of the beefsteaks and roll them tightly, securing with toothpicks.

In a large, deep pan, add butter and oil, then place the beef rouladen in the pan and seal on both sides.

Remove the rouladen from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, add the chopped vegetables, tomato paste, and sugar, and sauté for a few minutes.

Pour in the beef broth and stir, then add the rouladen back into the pan one by one.

Reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the meat is tender.

Remove the beef rouladen from the pan and set aside.

To prepare the sauce, drain the broth using a sieve and press the vegetables lightly.

Add the broth to a frying pan, season with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Mix in a mixture of 2 teaspoons cornstarch with a little water and stir until thickened.

Place the rouladen in the frying pan, spread the sauce over them, and let simmer for a few minutes.
