++++++++++++++++++ Lay steaks on a flat surface.
Spread each with mustard; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Divide
pickles, salt pork (or bacon), and onion among the steaks equally.
Roll up steaks jelly-roll fashion; secure with beef-roll clamps,
toothpicks, or thread. Heat oil in a heavy saucepan, add the steak
roll, and brown well on all sides, about 15 minutes. Pour in hot beef
broth, peppercorns, and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 1 hour and 20
minutes.
Remove beef rolls, discard clamps, and arrange on a preheated
platter. Blend cornstarch with a small amount of cold water, stir
into gravy and bring to a boil. Boil until gravy is thick and bubbly.
Correct seasonings and serve separately.
