Procedures:
1To cook: in a heavy skillet, over medium-low heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter and saute the onion and mushrooms until the onion is translucent.
2Stir in the lemon rind, bread crumbs, parsley, 1 teaspoon salt, and ?teaspoon pepper.
3When the parsley has wilted ~ about 1 minute after you add it to the skillet - quickly stir in the eggs to bind the mixture and remove skillet from the heat at once.
4Set aside.
5With a rolling pin or a wooden mallet, flatten the beef pieces until each is very thin and about twice its original size.
6As you finish each piece, season it with a little salt, pepper, and a pinch of thyme.
7At the widest end of each beef slice, place 1 teaspoon of bread-crumb mixture from the skillet.
8Roll up the meat, sausage-shape, and secure it with a wooden toothpick through the center.
9Roll each piece in flour.
10In a very large skillet, over medium- high heat, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and brown the pieces of beef.
11As you finish, place them in the slow-cooker.
12Pour the water into the skillet; scrape up the pan juices and turn the sauce into the cooker.
13Cover and cook on low for about 5 hours.
14Before serving: about half an hour before serving, mix the garlic and mustard into the sauce around the beef; cover; turn the heat to high, and cook for 30 minutes.
15If the sauce seems less flavorful than you like, about 5 minutes before serving add a dab of prepared mustard and a little salt.
16If the sauce seems thin, leave the cover off during the second cooking period
