Rouladen is a traditional German dish consisting of thinly sliced meat rolled around a savory filling. Typically made with beef, rouladen can also be made with pork, veal, lamb, or even poultry. The filling can vary widely, but often includes bacon, onions, pickles, and mustard. Rouladen is typically served with a rich gravy and various side dishes such as mashed potatoes, red cabbage, or spätzle. It is a hearty and flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a family meal.

CHEF JOHN'S BEEF ROULADEN
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.

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.

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.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- In a small saute pan over medium-low heat, cook the bacon just enough to render the fat, and set aside. Salt and pepper the steaks and lay flat on a large cutting board. Brush the top side of the slices with enough mustard just to coat.
- In a small bowl, toss together half the onion with the pickle relish and the reserved bacon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Spread the onion mixture over the meat. Starting at the short end, roll the meat up jellyroll style, and secure with kitchen twine.
- Heat the oil in a medium heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, and brown all sides of the meat. Remove the meat from the pan, and add the remaining onion, carrot and celery and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook another minute. Deglaze the pan with the wine and then add in the canned tomatoes (with their juice).
- Nestle the meat back into the pan, bring to a simmer, cover and then bake until the meat is tender, about 90 minutes. Turn the meat once halfway through cooking.
BRAISED ROULADEN WITH PAN GRAVY
Steps:
- Lay flat each piece of top round, spread on a layer of mustard, sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper and top with a slice of bacon. At one end of each piece, place about a tablespoon of the chopped onions and a pickle spear. Starting from the filling side (the onions and pickle), begin to roll each piece while tucking in the sides (this will keep your rouladen filling inside as you cook them). Tie a piece of butcher string around each rouladen in the middle and then on both sides (like you would a present), and then knot it.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan on medium-high heat. Cook the rouladen on all sides until brown. Remove any excess oil from the pan, leaving the leftover brown bits. Reduce the heat, add the beef stock and bring to a simmer. Simmer on medium-low to low heat, covered, until the rouladen are fork-tender, about 90 minutes. Remove them from the pan (leaving the juices), cover loosely with foil and let rest for 10 minutes.
- Whisk together the cornstarch and 1/4 cup cold water until smooth. Bring the leftover pan juices to a simmer and slowly add the cornstarch mixture while stirring. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the starchy flavor has been cooked away, about 10 minutes. Add the red wine near the end of the cooking time if using, to add a nice zesty flavor.
- Serve the rouladen with the gravy.

BEEF ROULADEN
This recipe, from the Dec/Jan 1996 issue of Taste of Home has been a family favorite since the first time i made it. It does require a little effort, but it's worth every minute. I make this on a regular basis, as well as when we have company over. I always serve homemade dinner rolls with it but traditionally it may have been served with potato dumplings. I usually will slice my 8 meat slices in half, lengthwise, to create 16 smaller slices, which are easier to handle. *Note: Most recipes include a dill pickle slice in each roll, and after trying it with pickles my family loves this recipe even more! I've added the pickle as an optional ingredient. :)

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

Steps:
- Sweet sour red cabbage: Combine all ingredients in a pot, bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer. Let simmer for 3 hours.
- Beef Rouladen: Have the butcher cut the beef 1/8-inch thick, 3-inches wide, and 6-inches long, have one piece this size per person. Sprinkle beef with chopped bacon, chopped onions and season with salt and pepper. Roll-up beef and tie with kitchen string. Brown the rolls in large, deep, sauce pan with the oil. Dissolve the bouillon cubes in the water. Add the bouillon water to the pan. Add the bay leaves. Bring to a boil then simmer for 3 to 4 hours or put in a preheated 325 degree oven for 3 hours. Check often and add water if necessary. When done, remove the string from the roll-ups and plate. Do not discard juice from pan/dish.
- Potato Dumplings (Klosse): Boil and mash (no butter or milk, just plain) 1/3 of the potatoes. Finely grate remaining 2/3 of potatoes, raw. Place in a fine cotton cloth and ring out as much of the extra juice as possible. Combine mashed potatoes with grated potatoes in a bowl with seasonings of choice. Form mixture into 3-inch diameter patties about 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Bring pot of water to a slow rolling boil. Place 5-6 potato patties (dumplings) into the water and boil slowly until they float. Plate the dumplings as they float and cover to keep warm. When all dumplings are finished, use the boiling water for making gravy from the beef roll-up drippings.
- Gravy: Add potato water from mashed-potato boiling to the drippings from the Rouladen. Use about 4 tablespoons of flour to every 1 cup of remaining juice/broth. Mix flour with cold water before adding to hot broth. Bring mixture to a slow boil and whisk until the gravy thickens. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of Maggies Seasoning. Add a little seasoning at first and continue adding to taste.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling later on.
- Use high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients you use, the better your rouladin will taste. Look for fresh, seasonal produce and high-quality meat and cheese.
- Don't overcook the rouladin: Cooking the rouladin for too long will make it tough and dry. Cook it just until the meat is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
- Let the rouladin rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat and make it easier to slice.
- Serve the rouladin with your favorite sides: Rouladin is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, and a simple green salad.
Conclusion:
Rouladin is a delicious and impressive dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can easily make this dish at home. So next time you are looking for a new recipe to try, give rouladin a try. You won't be disappointed!
