Ingredients

  • ¾ lb beef sirloin or round, thinly sliced
  • 3 slices bacon, chopped
  • ½ medium yellow onion
  • 3 tbsp grainy mustard
  • ¾ cup beef broth
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill, chopped

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat oven to 400°F. Chop bacon and onion finely, then cook bacon in a large skillet over medium until crispy, about 4 minutes.

  2. 2

    Stir onion into bacon, cooking 2 minutes until softened. Spread 1 tbsp mustard on each beef slice, then divide bacon-onion among them.

  3. 3

    Roll each slice tightly and secure with a toothpick. Increase skillet heat to medium-high, then sear rolls 90 seconds per side without moving.

  4. 4

    Pour broth and tomato paste around (not over) the rolls, stirring to combine. Transfer skillet to the oven for 10 minutes.

  5. 5

    Remove from oven. Scatter parsley on top and serve the rolls with pan sauce spooned over.
