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.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before starting, ensure all ingredients and tools are within reach. This will make the cooking process smoother and more efficient.
  • Use quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients greatly impacts the final dish. Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best results.
  • Follow the recipe carefully: Especially for beginners, it's crucial to follow the recipe accurately. Don't skip or substitute ingredients unless you're confident in your culinary skills.
  • Pay attention to cooking times and temperatures: Over or undercooking can drastically affect the texture and flavor of your dish. Use a timer or oven thermometer to ensure proper cooking.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking meat or vegetables, avoid overcrowding the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and may result in steamed rather than sautéed or roasted food.
  • Season to taste: While recipes provide general guidelines for seasoning, personal preferences vary. Taste the dish throughout the cooking process and adjust seasonings accordingly.
  • Garnish for presentation: A simple garnish like fresh herbs, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of cheese can elevate the visual appeal of your dish.
