BEEF ROULADEN
Our family was poor when I was growing up in Germany, so we ate garden vegetables for many weekday meals. When Mother made meat for a Sunday dinner, it was a terrific treat. My favorite is this beef rouladen, which gets great flavor from Dijon mustard. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina
