Rouladen

This beef rouladen recipe comes from my Grandma Mary, and it’s a childhood favourite. Tender beef rolls full of smoky bacon, onions, and dill pickles are slow-braised till melt-in-your-mouth tender, delivering huge taste from easy substances and probably the most unimaginable gravy.

Selecting the Proper Components

• Beef Spherical or Flank Steak: Select skinny slices of high spherical steak or flank steak, 8 to 10 inches lengthy, 4.5 inches broad, and ¼-inch thick. In my space, I discover beef labeled “Rouladen,” or you’ll be able to ask the butcher to thinly slice steaks. If utilizing spherical steaks, it’s possible you’ll must layer two to get a 10-inch size.
• Mustard: My grandma all the time unfold ready yellow mustard on the meat. For a sharper taste use Dijon mustard as a substitute.
• Bacon: Use raw bacon; it provides smoky taste and retains the meat moist.
• Pickle: Our household makes use of dill pickles (not candy) within the heart of the rouladen. Bear in mind to maintain a few of the juice for the gravy. The acidity from the pickle tenderizes the meat and provides a number of taste together with the bacon.
• Gravy: This recipe makes use of beef broth with a little bit of dill pickle juice. My mother all the time added a can of mushrooms with the juices, so I add them in as nicely. The juices are later used to make the sauce or gravy for serving. Whereas some recipes add a little bit of crimson wine, my Grandma saved it easy. You possibly can add additional onions to the gravy and a rib of celery and carrot when you’d like for taste. Discard the carrot/celery earlier than thickening the gravy.
