ANNA MARIA'S ROULADEN



Anna Maria's Rouladen image

My friend Anna Maria was born in Germany and makes a simple and simply delicious rouladen. I told her I wanted to make it into a 30 minute meal. She said, "Good luck!" By using thin-cut sirloin, rather than slow-cooking meats, I think this recipe comes close. There is no substitute for Anna Maria's, but if you don't know her, try this out:

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 package dumpling mix, (recommended: Panni brand) available on International Foods aisle
4 slices bacon
4 thin slices beef sirloin, just over 1 pound, ask the butcher to cut the meat 1/4 inch thick
Salt and pepper
4 rounded teaspoons prepared Dijon style mustard
4 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley, a couple of handfuls
4 dill pickle spears
Toothpicks or kitchen twine
2 tablespoons, extra-virgin olive oil, 2 turns of the pan
2 tablespoons butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups good quality chicken stock, available on the soup aisle
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Prepare dumpling mix to package directions*. See note:
  • Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Form several large balls, 2 to 3 inches thick, of dumpling mix. Add to the boiling water then reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes.
  • Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and render fat by cooking bacon about 3 minutes. As edges just begin to crisp, remove bacon from the skillet and transfer to paper towels to drain.
  • Season slices of sirloin with salt and pepper. Spread each slice of meat with a rounded spoonful of mustard. Top mustard with a generous scatter of chopped parsley. Top seasoned and mustard-coated meat with a slice of bacon and a dill pickle spear each. Place the bacon and pickle off center closer to 1 edge of the meat than the other. Roll the steaks around the filling and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine. Heat a deep skillet over medium high heat. Add oil, 2 turns of the pan, then meat rolls. Cook meat 2 to 3 minutes, then give it a quarter turn. Cook meat a total of 10 to 12 minutes, then transfer to a plate. Add butter to the meat pot and melt. Add flour to the butter and whisk together, cooking 2 minutes. Add chicken stock to the flour and butter and scrape up pan drippings. Season with salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream and remove from heat.
  • Remove toothpicks or twine from meat. Set meat roll and large dumpling on a dinner plate and cover with sour cream gravy. Quick sauteed cabbage makes a simple side dish, see recipe below.

CHEF JOHN'S BEEF ROULADEN



Chef John's Beef Rouladen image

For something that looks and tastes as impressive as this beef rouladen, it's actually one of the simplest stuffed meat recipes I know. You can pretty much use any cheap cut of beef; I used round steak, but rump, chuck, flap meat, and other similar cuts will work work.

Time 1h50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (6 ounce) (1/4 inch thick) slices of beef round
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 strips bacon
paprika, or to taste
½ onion, sliced into half-rings and separated
6 dill pickle spears
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Place slices of beef on a work surface, Season both sides with kosher salt and pepper. Spread one side with mustard. Place bacon strips on the mustard and sprinkle with paprika. Arrange onion slices cross-wise on the beef. Then evenly space 3 pickle slices across each slice of beef. Keep about an inch of the narrowest end of the beef slice free of toppings to facilitate rolling it up.
  • Roll each slice of meat, beginning from the wider of the two short ends, working to keep all ingredients inside the roll. Rolls should be nice and tight. Secure the rolls (seam side down) with 3 loops of butcher's twine, one in the middle and one at each end. Trim excess string.
  • Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Cook beef, turning and browning well on all sides, about 8 minutes. Remove meat from pan. Reduce heat to medium-low. Melt butter in the pan; whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute. Pour in cold beef broth and whisk vigorously to combine. Raise heat to medium-high and simmer until sauce begins to thicken, about 1 minute.
  • Transfer beef rolls to pan along with accumulated juices. Reduce heat to very low. Simmer gently, covered, turning rolls every 20 minutes or so, until beef is tender, about 1 1/2 hours. When the tip of a sharp knife can easily be inserted into the beef roll, the meat is done.
  • Transfer meat to dish to allow it to rest. Raise heat to high and bring cooking liquid to a simmer to thicken slightly to make a gravy, about 1 minute. Serve rouladen with gravy.

MY FAVORITE ROULADEN



My Favorite Rouladen image

When we lived in Germany in the mid 1970's, I was never able to appreciate pickles inside my meat. On day when we lived there I was given this Rouladen variation which was definitely more to my taste. Throughout the years when I was craving German Rouladen this is the recipe I used. OPTIONAL--I like a nice brown gravy so I add 1 Tablespoon Kitchen Bouquet to the gravy when it is thickening at the end for added flavor and color.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Look for a thin, flank steak or top sirloin steak. These cuts are tender and will cook quickly.
  • Pound the steak thin: This will help it cook evenly and quickly.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Some popular options include bacon, cheese, onions, and pickles. You can also add herbs and spices to taste.
  • Roll the rouladen tightly: This will help keep the filling inside and prevent it from leaking out.
  • Brown the rouladen before braising: This will help develop flavor and color.
  • Use a flavorful braising liquid: A good braising liquid will add moisture and flavor to the rouladen. Some popular options include beef broth, red wine, and beer.
  • Cook the rouladen until it is fall-apart tender: This will take about 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the rouladen with a pan gravy: A pan gravy is a great way to add extra flavor to the dish. You can make a pan gravy by deglazing the pan with red wine or beef broth and then thickening it with flour or cornstarch.
