Braised Beef Roulade With Creamed Cabbage

1. 1

   Mix diced onions with pickles, mustard, and breadcrumbs. Unroll the beef and season, then spread the mustard mixture over the surface, leaving a 3/4 inch margin around the outside. Lay the bacon all over the beef then roll up from one of the long sides of the beef and secure using kitchen twine.

2. 2

   Heat 2 tbsp oil in a Dutch oven set over high heat. Brown the meat for 7-8 mins, turning. Add the roughly chopped onions to the pan and saute for 1-2 min. Deglaze the pan with red wine then add the tomato paste, bay leaf and juniper berries. Cover and simmer for 2 hours 20-30 mins. Add water to the pan if the liquid evaporates too much.

3. 3

   In a large saucepan, heat 3 tbsp oil, then add the cabbage, cover and cook for 5-6 mins. Season, then add nutmeg, cream and 3/4 cup water. Cover and simmer gently for 25-30min, until tender.

4. 4

   Remove the beef from the pan and wrap in foil to rest for 5-10 mins. Pour the contents of the pan through a sieve into a saucepan and use the back of a spoon to force the softened vegetables through. Discard the solids. Add water to the liquid until it reaches 3 1/2 cups. Mix the cornstarch with 3 tbsp water until smooth then mix into the pan and simmer, stirring, until the sauce thickens. Unwrap the meat and slice then serve on a bed of creamed cabbage and drizzle with gravy. Serve.
