  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 strips of bacon
  • 8 large pickles
  • 1 large diced onion

Method:

  1. Spread mustard on each slice of steak, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place 1 bacon strip and a spoonful of onion wedges on each slice. Place pickle on one end and roll up and secure with toothpicks.
  2. In a large skillet, brown beef in oil until no longer pink.
  3. Add broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cover and simmer for 1-1/2 hours or until meat is tender.
  4. Remove meat and keep warm.
  5. To make the gravy, combine flour and water until smooth and gradually stir into broth by whisking. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly until thick.
  6. Remove toothpicks and return to gravy; heat through. Sprinkle with parsley if desired.

Serve with cabbage and spaetzle (or pasta)

Nokedli

You need a Nokedli or a Spaetzle maker

  • 1-cup flour
  • 1 egg
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 cup water

Method

  1. Mix all ingredients together in a mixing bowl with a fork until the consistency is a little thicker than pancake mix. Adjust water and flour until you get a smooth, lump free batter.
  2. Place device over a pot of boiling salted water, and ladle in your mixture, and start moving the top back and forth so the mixture cuts the dough as it falls into the boiling water below. Keep doing in until the mixture is done, with a wooden spoon; stir the nokedli so it doesn’t stick. Once they are floating they are done. Drain in a strainer like you would pasta.
