Beef Rouladen

2 lbs. Top round or sirloin tip steak, sliced in thin slices (about ¼ inch)

Mustard

Salt & Pepper

2 tomatoes, quartered

2 onions, quartered

Dill pickles, quartered lengthwise

4 strips of bacon, cut in half

1 cup water or beef broth

flour, salt and pepper for gravy

Lay thin pieces of steak out on wax paper.  Sprinkle each with salt & pepper.  Spread each piece with hot mustard.  Roll ½ slice of bacon around each onion wedge.  At one end of each piece of meat, lay bacon-wrapped onion, tomato wedge and a dill pickle wedge.  Tuck in the sides of the meat and roll up.  Fasten with kitchen twine or unwaxed dental floss.  Brown on all sides in a dutch oven in small amount of oil or bacon grease.  Add water or beef broth, cover and simmer gently for 30 to 45 minutes.  Remove Rouladen to a platter.  Whisk in enough flour, salt and pepper to make a smooth gravy, straining out the solids, if desired.

If the Mexican Velveeta is too spicy for your taste, you can use regular Velveeta and add a can of chopped green chilies along with the chopped tomatoes.

Chicken Fajita Pizza

Cooked chicken strips (I buy the bags of frozen grilled chicken breast strips and put them in the skillet right out of the freezer with the onions and green pepper)

Small onion, chopped

Small bell pepper, chopped

Salsa

Grated cheese (Co-jack is my favorite, but you can use any kind you prefer)

Saute onion and bell pepper in a small amount of butter.  Add cooked chicken strips to heat through.  Spread salsa on Boboli crust as you would pizza sauce for a regular pizza.  Put chicken mixture on there and top with grated cheese.  Bake for about 15 minutes in 375 degree oven…..until cheese is melted and everything is hot.

Chicken Fried Steak

Cube steaks or top round steak

Salt & Pepper

Cube steak usually comes in serving size pieces and has already been tenderized.  If you use top round, cut in serving size pieces and beat with a meat hammer to tenderize.  Season steak with salt and pepper to suit your taste.  Dredge each piece of steak with flour, dip in milk and then dredge in flour again.  Fry in a skillet in hot oil until brown on both sides.  Serve with cream gravy.
