Zrazy (Stuffed Beef Rolls)
Thin beef slices rolled around a filling of mushrooms, onions, and pickled cucumber, braised in gravy.
Why It Works
The thin beef slices braise quickly and absorb the mushroom-pickle filling flavors. The gravy, enriched with sour cream, ties together the savory and tangy elements.
