You can buy the best meat for rouladen at the German Store.  Ask butcher slice high grade lean beef very thin.

Lightly sprinkle over each slice of beef salt, pepper, paprika, dry mustard, and a little Maggie (if available). Chop up one onion and sprinkle over meat. Add dill pickles (finely sliced lengthwise). Roll up meat (like jelly roll) and secure with skewers or toothpicks (or may be tied with string). Brown roll on all sides in butter or margarine.

Place in baking pot on top of the stove with all the juice. Add water, allspice, bay leaves, and other onion (cut up). Simmer, covered, for about 1 to 1 1/2 hours or until tender. Add water if needed. Thicken drippings, before serving, to make gravy. Serve with potatoes or potato balls and red cabbage.
