Mom's Traditional German Beef Rouladen (Rinderrouladen) image

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!

Time 2h30m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 1/2 lbs lean high-quality beef round steak, cut into 8 equal rectangular sections and pounded flat
8 tablespoons yellow mustard
salt and pepper, to taste
4 slices bacon, chopped
1/2 cup white onion, chopped
1/4 cup dill pickle, finely chopped (may use dill relish)
1/4 cup oil, for frying
3 1/2 cups hot water, to cover (or hot beef broth)
1 bay leaf
1/3 cup flour
1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced (for serving)
wooden toothpick (or may use cooking twine or white thread for securing rouladen)

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.

Provided by Food Network

Time 1h35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 long, thin slices top round
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup spicy brown mustard
2 dill pickles, sliced in thin spears
1 large onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup chopped browned bacon
One 32-ounce carton beef stock
2 potatoes, sliced
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Place each top round slice between wax paper and pound to tenderize; add salt and pepper and generously spread each with the spicy mustard.
  • On the wide part of each piece of meat, place about 5 pieces of the dill pickle spears, some onion and a heaping tablespoon of the browned bacon. Fold in the edges and roll up like a burrito.
  • Carefully brown the rolls on all sides in a frying pan. Place in a large pot with the beef stock.
  • Put a slice of the raw potatoes between each rolled roulade, making sure the pot is packed tight; the potato slices will hold the roulade together without having to use a string. Cover and bake for about 45 minutes.
  • Make your gravy from the drippings by mixing the flour and butter and adding it slowly into the beef stock until it reaches the desired consistency. Serve with red cabbage and potatoes or spaetzle. You can also serve the potatoes that have soaked up all the delicious juices and held together the rouladen.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality beef: Look for well-marbled flank steak or top round steak for the best flavor and texture.
  • Tenderize the beef: Use a meat mallet or the back of a heavy knife to pound the beef until it is about 1/4 inch thick. This will help to break down the fibers and make the beef more tender.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Some popular options include bacon, onions, pickles, and sauerkraut. You can also add cheese, herbs, and spices to taste.
  • Roll the rouladen tightly: Make sure to roll the rouladen tightly so that the filling doesn't fall out during cooking.
  • Brown the rouladen before braising: This will help to develop flavor and color.
  • Braise the rouladen in a flavorful liquid: Use a combination of beef broth, red wine, and vegetables to create a rich and flavorful braising liquid.
  • Cook the rouladen until it is fall-apart tender: This will typically take about 2-3 hours.
  • Serve the rouladen with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, spaetzle, and red cabbage are all popular choices.

Rouladen is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With its tender beef, flavorful filling, and rich braising liquid, rouladen is sure to be a hit at your next dinner party. So what are you waiting for? Give this classic German dish a try today!
