BEEF ROULADEN



Beef Rouladen image

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

CHEF JOHN'S BEEF ROULADEN



Chef John's Beef Rouladen image

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.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     European     German

Time 1h50m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 (6 ounce) (1/4 inch thick) slices of beef round
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
4 strips bacon
paprika, or to taste
½ onion, sliced into half-rings and separated
6 dill pickle spears
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth
salt to taste

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.

TRADITIONAL BEEF ROULADEN



Traditional Beef Rouladen image

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.

  • Pound the steak thin: This will help ensure that the rouladin cooks evenly.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Get creative with your fillings! Some popular options include spinach, cheese, roasted vegetables, and herbs.
  • Roll the rouladin tightly: This will help keep the filling inside the rouladin while it cooks.
  • Sear the rouladin before baking: This will help to brown the outside of the rouladin and lock in the juices.
  • Cook the rouladin at a low temperature: This will help to prevent the rouladin from becoming dry.
  • Let the rouladin rest before slicing: This will help the juices redistribute throughout the rouladin, making it more tender.
