How to Make Zrazy Zawijane Polish Beef Roulade In Sour Cream Sauce

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the stuffing: Sauté chopped onion and mushrooms in butter until softened. Stir in breadcrumbs and season with salt and pepper.
Spread Dijon mustard evenly over each steak slice.
Place a spoonful of the mushroom stuffing onto each steak slice and roll tightly. Secure with toothpicks.
Sear the rolled steaks in hot oil until browned on all sides.
In a large oven-safe skillet or Dutch oven, combine sour cream and beef broth. Whisk in flour to create a smooth sauce.
Place the seared roulades in the sauce, ensuring they're mostly submerged.
Cover and bake in the preheated oven for 60-75 minutes, or until the beef is fork-tender.
Remove toothpicks before serving.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with boiled rice, kasza (buckwheat), potato dumplings, or steamed asparagus. Drizzle generously with the creamy mushroom sauce.
