Lay the beef flank steak flat and slice it into 4 equal rectangular pieces. Use a meat mallet to pound each piece into an even thinness, approximately 1/4 inch thick.
Finely chop the celery, carrot, dill pickles, and parsley. Mince the garlic cloves.
In a small bowl, mix the tomato paste, horseradish, vodka, Worcestershire sauce, and hot sauce to create the stuffing paste. Add salt and pepper to taste.
Spread a thin layer of the stuffing paste onto each piece of beef. Top each with a small amount of chopped celery, carrot, pickles, and parsley.
Roll each piece of beef tightly into a roulade and secure with kitchen twine or toothpicks to ensure the filling stays in place during cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roulades on all sides until browned, about 1-2 minutes per side. Remove the roulades from the skillet and set aside.
Lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 more minute to create a roux.
Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then return the beef roulades to the skillet.
Cover the skillet and let the roulades simmer for 40-45 minutes, turning occasionally, until the meat is cooked through and tender.
Remove the roulades from the skillet and discard the kitchen twine or toothpicks. Allow them to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve the roulades hot, drizzled with the sauce from the skillet, and garnish with fresh parsley and an optional lemon wedge for brightness.
