MOCK DUCK (OR BEEF ROULAND)
Ever had to hold a dinner party for 6 on a budget of $40? I have and this family favorite was the life saver or dinner savour (ok, bad pun) It also makes a great family dinner. It is basically your most inexpensive cut of beef, flank steaks or round steaks flattened out with a lot of pounding arranged together to form a 12x16-inch sheet, and rolled like a jelly roll around a bread stuffing. If you want to really jazz it up, try adding 1/2 can smoked oysters (chopped) or cooked chopped chicken livers to the stuffing. The moist cooking method helps tenderize the steak and makes an excellent sauce for the potatoes. If you want to make your own stuffing to save even more money, that works too. I'm not sure why it is called Mock Duck.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pound out steaks between plastic wrap. On a flat surface arrange 5 pieces of 24-inch cooking string parallel to each other about 2 inches apart. On top of the string, arrange the steak into a 12x16-inch sheet, or as well as you can create a rectangle without holes, try to overlap the steaks by no more than 1 inch.
- Cover sheet of steak with about 1/22-inch of stuffing.
- Roll steak as for a jelly roll, and tie with the string which is already under the roll, starting with the ends (so the stuffing does not squish out one end). Finally truss the roll lengthwise. At this time it should look like a steak cocoon.
- Brown the steak in oil in a frying pan.
- Transfer the roll to an oven-proof dish with a lid, pour consommé or tomato soup around the steak and cover. Baste during baking. Add additional water as needed to keep about an inch of liquid in the bottom. Bake 2 hours or until internal temp is 160°F.
- Serve with mashed potatoes and veggies.

CRISP-SKINNED DUCK WITH MOCK MANDARIN PANCAKES
Steps:
- Rinse ducks inside and out and pat dry. Remove excess fat from cavities and truss ducks. On a metal rack set in a large roasting pan arrange ducks, breast sides up and several inches apart. Let ducks dry, uncovered and chilled, 3 days.
- In a small bowl stir together boiling water, honey, and vinegar and cool to room temperature. Brush ducks with some honey mixture, keeping them chilled, and brush again every 20 minutes for 1 hour. Let ducks dry at room temperature 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pierce skin of ducks all over with a fork to allow fat to drain and help skin get crisp. Roast duck in middle of oven until mahogany brown and a meat thermometer inserted into fleshy part of a thigh registers 180°F., about 1 hour 15 minutes. Let ducks stand 10 minutes. Discard string and carefully pour out juices from cavities.
- Cut around entire breast of each duck with a sharp paring knife and carefully peel off crisp skin in large pieces. Cut skin into 2 1/2- by 1-inch strips. Cut away and discard any fat on breast meat and remove breast meat from bone. Slice breast meat diagonally into 1/4-inch-thick slices and arrange on a platter with crisp skin. Remove legs from duck and arrange on another platter. Duck meat may be reheated and skin recrisped in a 350°F. oven until just hot.
- To make scallion brushes:
- If serving mock pancakes halved, 48 scallion brushes (one for each half) will be necessary for rolling inside the pancakes. If leaving the pancakes whole, 24 scallion brushes will be needed.
- Trim roots and green parts from scallions, leaving about 2 1/2 inches of stalk. Fringe ends of scallions by cutting slits about 1/2 inch deep all around both ends of each stalk, leaving about 1 inch of solid scallion in center, and spread fringed ends gently. Put scallions in bowl of ice and cold water. Chill scallions 2 hours, or until fringed ends have curled
- Drain scallions well.
- To assemble pancakes:
- Using a scallion brush spread some hoisin sauce on a pancake (whole or half) and top with the scallion brush, some breast meat, and some crisp skin. Roll up pancake to enclosed filling. Make more pancakes with remaining scallion brushes, hoisin sauce, breast meat, and crisp skin in same manner.
- Serve duck legs on the side.

MOCK DUCK
This is an old family recipe that we make every year at my grandmother's house during Christmas time. I use it at my home throughout the year as a simple dinner, or make it and take it to work when I know we'll need a snack after a big rush. Steak can be venison or beef. I grew up using mostly elk steaks.

Steps:
- Slice the beef into 1x6 inch strips. Roll up one wedge of onion in a piece of bacon, then roll a slice of beef around the whole thing. Secure with a toothpick. Repeat with remaining beef, bacon and onion.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meat rolls in the hot oil, just until browned on the outside. Transfer the rolls to a Dutch oven or slow cooker, and pour in just enough water to cover. Tie the pickling spice in a square of cheesecloth, and place in the water. Bring to a boil, then simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
- In a small jar with a tight fitting lid, combine the cornstarch and water. Shake until no lumps remain. Remove the spice bag from the simmering broth, and discard. Stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cover, and simmer for 2 more hours.
- To serve, spoon the Mock Duck onto a plate, and remove the toothpicks. Spoon the gravy over. Happy Eating!

Steps:
- Trim flank steak and season with salt, paprika, ginger and set aside. Melt butter and saute chopped onion and mushrooms until brown. Add bread crumbs, salt, paprika, parsley, celery and egg. Spread dressing down the middle (lengthwise)of the flank steak, fold sides up until they meet and tie in several places. Heat in a skillet 3 Tbsp. of fat. Sear the steak roll in the hot fat on all sides. Place the steak in a casserole or closely covered dish. Stir into the fat in the skillet 2 Tbsp. flour add beef broth and tomato juice or wine,bring just to a boil. Pour the sauce over the steak roll. Bake steak in a 300 deg. oven, loosely covered, for 1-1/2 hours. Makes 3-4 servings Note: If some of the dressing oozes out or if you have some left, just tuck it up next to or under the steak roll before baking.
Tips:
- To make the mock duck as realistic as possible, use a variety of mushrooms, including shiitake, oyster, and wood ear mushrooms.
- For a more flavorful mock duck, marinate the mushrooms in a mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, and Chinese five-spice powder for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
- When cooking the mock duck, use a combination of high heat and low heat. High heat will help to sear the mushrooms and give them a crispy texture, while low heat will help to cook them through.
- To make the mock duck more tender, add a little cornstarch or tapioca starch to the marinade. This will help to thicken the sauce and make the mock duck more juicy.
- Serve the mock duck with a variety of dipping sauces, such as hoisin sauce, plum sauce, or sweet and sour sauce.
