Rouladen
Sometimes spelled Roladen


Beef Rouladen has been around in Germany at least since the 1700's where they have found a written recipe. It was mainly for nobility and royalty as beef was very expensive. As it became more affordable, it made it's way into house holds for a nice Sunday dinner or celebration.

It is now on menus across the world and can be enjoyed by every one any day of the week.

The idea of rolling up a tasty filling in a cutlet was a creative idea from the French who viewed cusine as an art form, but Roulade was a 2 fold concept in that you could extend a small amount of meat to feed a large party or family.

The Germans using what they had, bacon and onions is the national seasoning for most everything and the pickle seems very appropriately German. Who ever thought of it came hit the jackpot. Maybe that's why we put pickles on our hamburgers.

Chop the bacon into small pieces. I find that it is easier to work with frozen bacon or semi frozen bacon. I cut the whole stack at once.

Cut the steak into pieces about 2" by 4". Pound the strips with a mallet or meat tenderizing tool until very thin and pliable; they will also be a little larger.

Season the strips with salt and pepper, spread thinly with mustard.

Place crosswise on each strip: 1 TB of bacon pieces, about 1 TB. chopped onion; and 1 strip of dill pickle.

Roll the steak up.

Toothpick the steak as so. thread it so it is parallel to the steak roll. If you stick it though horizontally you will not be able to brown it properly.

Dredge them in flour.

Brown the rolls in olive or vegetable oil, and place them in a baking pot.


Add liquid (beef stock and a little red wine, or just water) to a depth of about 1/2 inch in skillet. 8. Cover the pan and simmer, adding liquid as needed.

Cook them for about 1 hour, or until the Rouladen are tender.

Remove the rolls to a heated plate. Thicken the gravy with flour or cornstarch. Sour cream or yogurt may be added. Rouladen are good served with Spaetzels, noodles, or mashed potatoes

Cover the baking dish and keep in oven till time to serve. Sour cream or yogurt may be added. Rouladen are good served with Spaetzels, noodles, or mashed potatoes.
