Modern guidance to help you succeed with this vintage recipe
Pounding flour into the meat creates a coating that browns during searing, forming flavorful fond while also thickening the braising liquid into a natural gravy. The long, gentle simmer in liquid breaks down the tough connective tissue in round steak through hydrolysis, transforming collagen into gelatin for tender results. Rolling the meat around aromatics allows the onion and carrot flavors to penetrate from the inside while the bacon fat bastes the meat during cooking.
The beef rolls can be assembled, secured, and refrigerated up to 24 hours before browning and braising. Bring to room temperature for 30 minutes before cooking. The finished dish can be made up to 2 days ahead and stored in the braising liquid in the refrigerator—the flavors actually improve with time.
Store the boneless birds in their braising liquid in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop over low heat, covered, for 15-20 minutes until warmed through. Add a splash of water or broth if the liquid has reduced too much. Can be frozen for up to 3 months; thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
