Beef Rouladen
Rouladen is a traditional German dish made of thinly sliced beef, typically rolled up with a filling of bacon, onions, and pickles. It's usually braised with gravy and served with sides like mashed potatoes or spaetzle.
Ingredients
- 4 slices beef (about ¼ inch thick)
- 4 slices bacon
- 1 large onion thinly sliced
- 4 small pickles (dill or gherkin), sliced lengthwise
- 4 tablespoons mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 cup red wine (optional)
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Lay the beef slices flat and season them with salt and pepper.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard on each slice of beef.
- Place a slice of bacon, some onion slices, and a pickle on top of each beef slice.
- Roll up the beef slices tightly, securing them with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the Rouladen to the skillet and brown them on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once browned, remove the Rouladen from the skillet and set them aside.
- Deglaze the skillet by adding beef broth and red wine (if using), scraping the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Return the Rouladen to the skillet, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 1.5 - 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- Once cooked, remove the Rouladen from the skillet and keep them warm.
- In a separate small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Stir in the flour to make a roux and cook for a minute or two.
- Gradually whisk in the liquid from the skillet to make a gravy.
- Simmer the gravy until thickened to your desired consistency.
- Serve the Rouladen with the gravy spooned over the top, alongside sides like mashed potatoes or spaetzle.
