Steps:

• Trim all fat from meat and if not pounded flat by your butcher, take a metal or wooden cooking mallet and pound the steak until the tissues are broken down and it is pretty thin.
• Cut steak into long thin strips.
• Season flour with salt and pepper.
• Arrange an assembly line for preparation for ease of rolling.
• On each piece of steak, place a dab of mustard and rub it along the steak.
• Add a piece of bacon.
• Add a piece of pickle slice.
• Sprinkle a dab of marjoram.
• From one end of the steak, start rolling the steak, bacon, pickle until completely rolled and secure with toothpicks or string.
• Continue until all steak is rolled.
• Dredge rolls of steak into flour until coated.
• Heat oil in deep fryer pan.
• Brown steak until browned.
• Transfer to casserole dish.
• Continue browning and transferring into casserole dish until done.
• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Stir and scrape up any browned bits left in frying pan and slowly add 2 cups of beef broth.
• Sprinkle a dash of extra marjoram into gravy and stir.
• Pour gravy over steak rolls in casserole dish.
• Either bake now at 350°F for 1-1-1/2 hours or you can refrigerate and cook later.

Steps:

• Brown ground beef and onion. Salt and pepper to taste. Drain grease. Stir together rice and browned ground beef and set aside.
• Bring a large kettle of water to a boil and remove from heat.
• Carefully remove 16 leaves from the head of cabbage and put leaves in the water and let set until wilted.
• Remove a leaf from the water with tongs, take a good sized tablespoon of the hamburger-rice mixture into the leaf and wrap leaf around the burger mixture. May need to secure with a toothpick to keep closed.
• Place in a greased 9x13 pan.
• Repeat with remaining leaves and burger mixture.
• When you have used all the mixture, pour tomato juice and water over top of cabbage rolls.
• Cover and bake for an hour at 325.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and set it aside.
• Lay 1 sheet of phyllo on a work surface (cover the remaining phyllo with a slightly damp kitchen towel to keep it from drying out). Spray the phyllo sheet generously with cooking spray. Top with another sheet of phyllo. Spray the second sheet of phyllo with cooking spray. Cut the phyllo stack lengthwise into 3 strips (each strip should measure about 3x9 inches). Place 1 piece of hot dog at the end of each strip. Fold the sides of the phyllo in to overlap the edges of the hot dog pieces. Roll the hot dogs up tightly to encase them in phyllo. Place the rolled hot dogs, seam side down, on the prepared baking sheet.
• Repeat the process with the remaining hot dogs and phyllo. When all of the hot-dog packages have been assembled, spray them lightly with cooking spray, and bake until they are golden brown and crispy, about 16 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring the milk to a boil in a small nonstick saucepan over high heat. Add the cheese and whisk until it melts. Continue whisking until the sauce is smooth. Whisk in the ketchup and mustard.
• Serve the hot dogs with the warm sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F. Set racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven. Line two 13x18-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. In a small bowl, beat the egg with 1 tablespoon water. Prep the ingredients for the filling and set aside.
• If using a 17-ounce puff pastry package, roll each sheet to a 9x12-inch rectangle. Cut each piece lengthwise into eight 1 1/2-inch wide strips. Cut each strip crosswise into two pieces, about 4 1/2 inches long. You should have 32 pieces of pastry.
• Spread the center of each piece of pastry with 1/2 teaspoon mustard and top with 1/2 teaspoon sauerkraut. Brush one narrow end of the pastry with egg wash, add one piece of sausage, and roll to enclose. Return to parchment-lined baking sheets. Brush the top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with caraway seeds, seam-side down. Chill in refrigerator for 15 minutes. Bake until golden brown and puffed, 23 to 27 minutes.

Steps:

• Separate the dough into eight triangles. Place a sausage on wide end of each triangle and roll up. Place, tip down, on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 400° for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 190C/170C fan/gas 5. Cut the bacon rashers in half. Wrap a piece of bacon around each of the chipolatas.
• Place on a baking tray and cook for 30-35 mins until golden.
