Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Pat beef dry. Lay flat and spread 0.75 tbsp mustard on each piece. Layer bacon slice and onion sliver on top, then roll tight and secure with toothpicks.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Sear beef rolls 2 minutes per side until browned. Transfer to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Add carrots, celery root, and leeks to the same pan. Toss with salt and pepper. Roast 8 minutes, stirring halfway, until edges start to color.

  4. Step 4

    Nestle beef rolls back into the pan among the vegetables. Scatter tomato halves around. Cook 6 minutes uncovered until tomatoes collapse slightly.

  5. Step 5

    Add 0.25 cup water and remaining mustard (2.25 tbsp). Scrape any browned bits from the pan. Simmer 2 minutes until the sauce tightens around the meat.

  6. Step 6

    Remove toothpicks. Plate beef rolls with vegetables and sauce. Serve hot.
