MOM'S TRADITIONAL GERMAN BEEF ROULADEN (RINDERROULADEN)
Traditional German Beef Rouladen with a wonderful gravy, just as my mother made and now I make. This is a family favorite, and an excellent Sunday or Holiday meal. We enjoy our rouladen with boiled new potatoes or potato dumplings and a side of my German Rotkohl recipe #108449 or Country Green Beans recipe #344562. I sometimes serve dinner rolls with fresh butter, to round out the meal. Guten appetit!

Steps:
- Spread 1 tablespoon mustard evenly on one side of each pounded steak.
- Sprinkle salt and pepper over mustard.
- Evenly sprinkle chopped bacon, onion, and pickles over mustard side of each steak.
- Roll up firmly jelly roll fashion (with filling to inside, starting at narrow end), and secure each rouladen shut (so filling stays in) with wooden toothpicks, cooking twine, or white sewing thread.
- In a large dutch oven, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. When hot, carefully add the rouladen rolls. Fry until nicely browned, turning once (about 7 minutes per side).
- Add enough hot water or broth to almost cover the rouladen. Add bay leaf. Increase heat to high and bring to a boil.
- Cover and reduce heat to low.
- Simmer, covered, for 1 1/2 hours on low heat, checking once halfway through to give a stir and see that meat is covered with sufficient liquid (you may add a little hot water at this point, if necessary).
- With a large slotted spoon, carefully remove the rouladen from the hot broth to an oven-proof dish; cover with foil and keep warm in the oven while making the gravy.
- To Make Gravy:.
- Add the flour to 1 cup of water in a large measuring cup, whisking briskly with a fork to blend.
- Pour the flour mixture all at once into the hot broth, using a wire whisk to blend. Use a wooden spoon to scrape up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, and stir them into the gravy.
- Increase heat to medium-high, and bring gravy mixture to a boil, whisking constantly. Continue to whisk and boil for two to three minutes, until gravy thickens. Reduce heat to low, and remove the bay leaf. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- To Serve:.
- (Note: Remove toothpicks and twine or thread before serving).
- Using a large slotted spoon, carefully place the rouladen into the hot gravy; cover, and warm through for a few minutes.
- Remove from heat and serve.
- Good sides are boiled new potatoes or potato dumplings sprinkled with fresh snipped parsley,and German Rotkohl (Red Cabbage) or Country Green Beans with Bacon and Onion.
ANNA MARIA'S ROULADEN
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:

BEEF ROLLS (RINDSROULADEN)
Posted for the Zaar World Tour-Germany. This recipe is from my German great-grandmother. I took these to my son's school for "Heritage Day" when he was young. The other students/parents were a little "apprehensive" to try them when they were told these rolls had pickles, onions, and mustard in them. Needless to say, they were a big hit and I didn't bring any leftovers home.

BEEF ROULADEN
Our family was poor when I was growing up in Germany, so we ate garden vegetables for many weekday meals. When Mother made meat for a Sunday dinner, it was a terrific treat. My favorite is this beef rouladen, which gets great flavor from Dijon mustard. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina
