CROATIAN AUTUMN BEEF STEAKS

Steps:

• For the filling: slice the onion very finely, liver not so finely, bacon on small cubes, and mushrooms on "leaves".
• Sauté it following this order: First onion, than mushrooms, and liver and bacon together as last (put the new ingredient when the last is soft, and so on).
• Sauté it until all liquid evaporates.
• Season it with salt and pepper.
• When it cools add one yolk, parsley leaves (minced) and nutmeg powder.
• Spread the filling over each steak, fold them in half and close it with toothpicks (3-4 per each steak).
• Cover the steaks with flour and fry them on both sides until they become brownish.

• Add beef stock to cover the steaks completely.
