Introduce the recipe and ingredients for Rouladen.

Tenderize the bottom round beef and cut into pieces, two pieces per person.

Season the beef with salt and pepper to taste.

Spread honey mustard generously on each slice of beef.

Add two slices of bacon to each piece of meat.

Slice peeled onions and layer them on top of the meat.

Drain the bread and butter pickles, saving the juice for later use in gravy.

Layer pickle slices onto the meat, starting with the small end of the beef.

Roll the beef tightly, ensuring the ingredients stay inside.

Use string to tie the rolled beef into neat packages.

In an electric skillet, add four pads of butter and set the temperature to 400°F.

Once the butter has melted, add the Rouladen one by one.

Brown the Rouladen on each side, then cover with a lid.

Every 15 minutes, check the Rouladen, adding water or pickle juice as needed.

Turn the heat down to 200°F and let the Rouladen simmer.

In a bowl, mix two heaping spoonfuls of cornstarch with half a cup of water.

Turn off the skillet and transfer the Rouladen into a bowl.

Add water to the skillet, scraping off the brown bits.

Transfer the liquid to a pot and bring to high heat.

Whisk in the cornstarch mixture until the liquid boils and thickens into gravy.

Cut the strings from the Rouladen and transfer them back into the bowl.

Whisk the gravy and pour it carefully over the Rouladen.
