🇵🇱 Poland recipe

Zrazy

Zrazy are elegant Polish beef roulades that showcase the sophistication of Old Polish cuisine. Thin slices of beef are pounded until tender, spread with a piquant layer of mustard, then rolled around a filling of dill pickles, onions, and sometimes smoky bacon. Braised slowly in a rich, dark gravy until the meat is fork-tender and the sauce has developed deep, complex flavors.
