Ingredients

Servings
4
  • 6 tbsp butter, divided
  • 2 count medium onions, peeled and finely minced
  • 0.5 lb fresh mushrooms, minced
  • 1 tbsp lemon zest, grated
  • 2 tbsp plain dry bread crumbs
  • 0.5 cup fresh parsley, minced
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.3 tsp black pepper
  • 2 count eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 lb bottom round beef, cut into 16 thin 4-inch square slices
  • 0.3 tsp dried thyme
  • 0.3 cup all-purpose flour for dredging
  • 1 cup warm water
  • 2 count medium garlic cloves, peeled and crushed
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a heavy skillet over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the onion and mushrooms until onion is translucent.

  2. 2

    Stir in lemon zest, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, and pepper. When parsley wilts (about 1 minute), quickly stir in the beaten eggs to bind the stuffing. Remove from heat and set aside.

  3. 3

    Using a rolling pin or mallet, flatten each beef slice until very thin and about twice its original size. Season each piece with a pinch of salt, pepper, and thyme.

  4. 4

    Place 1 teaspoon of stuffing at the widest end of each beef slice. Roll up sausage-shape and secure with a toothpick. Roll each in flour.

  5. 5

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and brown the beef rolls on all sides. Transfer to the slow cooker.

  6. 6

    Pour warm water into the skillet and scrape up pan juices. Pour over the beef rolls in the slow cooker.

  7. 7

    Cover and cook on LOW for about 5 hours.

  8. 8

    About 30 minutes before serving, mix crushed garlic and Dijon mustard into the sauce. Turn to HIGH, cover, and cook 30 more minutes.
