Steak Roll
From The Modern Family Cookbook
1¼ lbs. round steak cut 1/2 -inch thick
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup bacon fat
1 quart soft bread crumbs, packed
1/2 teaspoon sage
2 teaspoons crushed dried celery leaves or ¼ cup fresh celery, finely chopped
1 bouillon cube dissolved in 1¼ cups boiling water
1 egg, beaten
Salt and pepper to taste
Wipe steak thoroughly with damp cloth and pound all over vigorously with edge of heavy saucer. Sauté onion in fat until yellow; add to bread crumbs and combine lightly with all remaining ingredients; if crumbs are quite dry, more liquid may be added. Spread dressing over the steak and roll up like a jelly roll; secure by tying at ends and center with string. Brown on all sides in a small amount of fat in a skillet; add 1/2 cup hot water, cover tightly and bake in a moderately slow oven ( 325° F.) 1 hour or until meat is very tender. Remove meat roll to hot platter, remove string and keep hot while making gravy from drippings skillet. 5 servings.


You gotta love a recipe that calls for bacon fat.
