4 tsp. medium-hot mustard
8 slices of streaky bacon
8 cocktail gherkins (cornichons)
2 carrots
1 thin leek
150 g celery
1 onion

1 tbsp. tomato paste
250 ml red wine
2 sprigs of thyme
2 sprigs of rosemary
2 bay leaves
1 clove of garlic
1000 ml beef stock
100 ml cream
Accessories
Gourmet oven dish
Gourmet oven dish lid
Preparation
Lay the steaks out next to each other
and season with salt and pepper. Coat
with mustard and then top each with 2
slices of bacon and 2 gherkins cut into
batons. Roll up and secure with
wooden skewers or kitchen twine. Dice
the carrots, leek, celery and onions (into
1cm pieces).
Heat the oil in the Gourmet oven dish
and fry the beef roulades until well
browned. Remove the meat and fry the
vegetables gently.
Add the tomato paste and continue to
fry gently. Add one-third of the red
wine. Allow the wine to reduce and then
repeat until all of the wine has been
used.
Transfer the vegetables to an ovenproof
dish and add the herbs, spices and
garlic together with the stock. Add the
beef to the Gourmet oven dish again,
cover and cook in the oven for
60minutes.
After 60 minutes, remove the lid and
inject the first burst of steam. Continue
to cook uncovered.
At the end of cooking, take the meat
out of the dish and remove the skewers
or twine. Sieve the gravy, add the
cream and thicken with a little cornflour
mixed with water, if necessary.
