Gently gather end of beef upwards and roll neatly into a log, enclosing the filling. And with kitchen twine, tie beef roulades snugly at both ends and center to fully secure. And lightly dredge with flour.
- Heat oil in a wide , heavy-bottomed pan. Gently add beef roll and lightly brown on all sides. Remove from pan and drain on paper towels.
- Discard oil from the skillet except about 1 tablespoon. Then add onions and garlic and cook until browned. Add reserved marinade and bring to a boil, scraping sides to deglaze the pan. Then add the tomato sauce and beef broth. Also add bay leaf. And season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil. Now gently add beef rolls in a single layer. Lower the heat , cover and cook for about 45 minutes to 1 hour or until the beef is tender.
- Lastly, remove beef rolls from pan and allow to stand for about 3 to 5 minutes. Slice into 1-inch thick rounds and arrange slices on serving platter. Keep warm. Add liver spread into sauce and stir until dissolved. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Pour sauce over morcon slices and serve hot.
