A very popular German dish. My mom and mother in law (who is from Germany) both make this recipe. While there are tiny variations in family recipes, this one is delicious. Is great served with either Spaetzle (german dumplings) or potatoes, red cabbage, and cucumber salad for a yummy Oktoberfest dinner. When purchasing the steaks, easiest way to get the right cut is to ask your local butcher to cut these for you; they are happy to do this so you get the right cut and thickness for these rolls.

    Heat oil in large dutch oven or large frying pan and brown beef rolls on all sides. Remove meat and add flour to the pan and cook to a light brown to make a roux. Stir in the stock, wine, tomato paste, and salt and pepper. Bring to a boil and simmer 1 minute.
