- ¼ lb. bacon cut into thin slices
- 1 onion chopped fine
- Salt, pepper
- 1½ tbsps. of flour
- ⅛ lb. of butter or lard

Preparation: The best meat for this is from the round. The meat slices are pounded and cut into squares, then sprinkled with salt and pepper, covered with bacon and onions, rolled up and fastened with twine or toothpicks.
Heat the butter or lard and brown the roulades in it, sprinkle flour over and stew, adding some salt and the bouillon or water. Then stew slowly for 1 hour in a covered pan or pot. If the roulades are small it requires less time, if large it requires from 2 to 2½ hours. The roulades are served with the gravy after the twine or toothpicks have been removed.
