Rouladen

Rouladen is an odd German dish wherein you "roll" flank steak, pickles, and bacon together.

Be sure to simmer it, and marinading the flank steak beforehand won't hurt. Flank steak is a very tough cut of beef, frequently used for "stir fry beef" due to the cut being useful for the small strips common to Americhinese stir fry cooking.
