Rouladen with vegetable filling

For You, Ray

I made up this recipe today; it is very easy to make and quite delicious.  Ideal for that ugly Phase 2.

Vegetable Rouladen

1 pkg rouladen (or very thinly sliced round steak)  I buy the steak already cut into the rouladen pieces.
Spread each piece with a good mustard; I like Dijon but anything will work.

Onion, Carrot, Cilantro, Garlic, liguid smoke, salt and pepper

Saute together in a non-stick frying pan some finely chopped onion and carrot (more onion than carrot)
Add some finely chopped peppers and cilantro after the onion and carrot have cooked a bit
Add two cloves fresh minced garlic
Add 1/4 tsp liquid smoke (or more if you like that taste)
Sprinkle on some salt and pepper
If the mixture seems dry, just add a 1/4 cup water

Take a couple of tablespoons of mixture and place on large end of rouladen.  Roll up and try to tuck the ends in (if it is too hard to do, don't worry about it)
Tie roll with two pieces of thread

Saute all the rouladen in non-stick frying pan; add some liquid beef concentrate and a little water when rouladen are browned.  do this on fairly high heat as you want the meat to brown and not cook.

If you have any mixture left place in bootom of casserole dish.  Place browned rouladen over the top.
Add some water to the frying pan and stir together until all scrapings are in liquid
Pour over rouladen in casserole dish.  Bakeke 350* for 1 hour.  If it is too hot outside you could bake on the barbeque like I did.  We had baked asparagus with it.
