Traditional Polish beef rolls
Compiled by Dorota and Dominik Denysiewicz

Tender, aromatic beef in rich, smooth sauce… traditional Polish beef rolls is one of the most signature Polish dishes.


Ingredients

  • 8 steaks ( about 2.5 lbs of lean beef)

  • 8 oz of smoked bacon

  • 8 pickles

  • 1/2 + 1 1/2 onion

  • 8 tbs of brown mustard

  • Salt and pepper

  • Toothpicks

  • Grease for sautéing

  • 1 quart of beef or chicken stock

  • 4 bay leaves

  • 6 peppercorns

  • 3-4 mushrooms

  • 3 tablespoons of flour

  • 1/2 cup of cold water


Instructions

Slice onion in half and then into thin wedges. Quarter each pickle.
 
Pound steaks out to about a pancake thickness. Sprinkle each one with salt and pepper and then apply about a tablespoon of mustard onto one side (thin layer - see pictures above).
 
Cut bacon strips in half and lay 2 halves in the middle of each steak. Add pickles and onions.
 
Fold meat around the bacon/pickle/onion 'stuffing', starting with the narrower edge in. Fold the other end over the top, and secure the edges with toothpicks. Use as many as you need.
 
In a large frying pan heat a thin layer of grease. Place rolls in single layer and sauté until golden brown on each side.
 
Take out rolls and add sliced 1 1/2 onion. Sauté for about 5 min. Add rolls, beef/chicken stock, spices and mushrooms and simmer on low for about 45 minutes. Take rolls and spices out and blend sauce with a hand blender. Thicken the sauce by mixing flour and water and adding to the sauce. Bring to boil.
