Preheat the pot using sear sauté on high or medium-high heat if using a frying pan.

Season both sides of the bottom round beef steak with 1 tablespoon of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of black pepper.

Spread about 1 teaspoon of stone ground mustard evenly over the top of the beef steak.

Lay one slice of thick cut bacon on top of the mustard.

Place a pickle on top of the bacon.

Optionally add a little bit of onion inside the roll.

Keep the tapered end of the beef towards you and roll it up tightly, pulling the ingredients back as you roll.

Secure the rolled beef with 16 pieces of cooking twine, tying a knot at both ends.

Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the preheated pot.

Once the oil is hot, sear the beef rolls for 3 to 5 minutes on one side until browned.

Flip the beef rolls to brown the other side, searing for another 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the browned beef rolls from the pot and set them aside on a clean tray.

Add 5 to 6 whole cloves of garlic and chopped onion to the pot, browning them slightly without burning.

Add 4 tablespoons of butter and flour to the pot to build the gravy base.
