Sauté Beef Neck (3.5 lb) until golden brown, then remove neck bones and reserve.

step 4
Transfer the meat to another pot, strain enough of the sauce for one portion, then save the rest of the sauce with the vegetables for another dish.
step 5
Add one cup Button Mushroom (1 cup) to the beef. Cover, bring to a simmer, then remove from heat and set aside.

Slice the Bacon (14 oz) into small pieces and saute until crisp. Add the sliced Onions (2) and sauté until the onions are opaque.

Slice the Kaiser Rolls (14) into quarters, then slice the quarters into 1/2-inch slices.
