Beef Rouladen Recipe

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 tender beef dish, which gets great flavor from Dijon mustard. -Karin Cousineau, Burlington, North Carolina

Tip

Tip for Straining Broth or Stock

A big pasta pot with a strainer insert is handy for making soup stock. Put meat bones and vegetables in the strainer, fill the pot with water and cook. When it’s time to strain the broth, just lift out the strainer. —Kathleen K., Staten Island, New York

This is FANTASTIC!! I also add a dill pickle spear and a little pickle juice to the gravy. I also flour the rolls and then fry them. I have made this several times over the years and everyone loves them.

I was so happy to find this recipe! My German mother-in-law used to make this all the time. She passed away about 15 years ago and I hadn't had it since. She put pickles in hers also. I will try adding them next time.

Perfect!!! I'm from Germany as well, and this recipe is 99.999% the way my Oma, Mom and I all make it. The only thing we do different is add a dill pickle spear with the onion, and add a little pickle juice to the gravy for a bit of tang. Very authentic, very delicious. Make this recipe as is and you'll be serving the best German Sunday dinner!

My husband absolutely loved this recipe. I did cook the bacon until crisp-tender before rolling it inside the steak and I think it is the key to not having soggy bacon. Outside of that I followed the recipe exactly.

I've been making this recipe for years and it is always a hit. The beef comes out fork tender and it is the tastiest dish ever!

Re: Beef Rouladen

I love this dish - Growing up in Germany, we made it just as above. Still fix it today, with boiled poataoes and red cabbage, for my family, without the mustard. It's always a great hit!

I love this recipe, and so far, all of my guests I've served it to have had rave reviews. I agree about the soggy bacon, of which I'm not a big fan. I've actually cooked the bacon just a bit and then used it in the recipe, which helped. It tastes great and makes a great meal for company!
