GERMAN BEEF ROULADEN

Steps:

• Spread 1/2 tablespoon mustard over one side of each piece of meat. Sprinkle the onion, paprika, salt, and pepper evenly over the steaks. Lay one slice of bacon on each piece. Roll the steaks jelly-roll style and secure with toothpicks.
• Heat the canola oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook meat on all sides until browned. Add the beef broth and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium low; cover and simmer until tender, about 30 minutes.
• Remove the meat rolls. Strain the broth mixture and return liquid to the skillet. Whisk together the cornstarch and 1 cup of water. Slowly pour the cornstarch slurry into the skillet, stirring continually until the sauce has thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the sour cream. Return rolls to the sauce; serve immediately.

ROULADEN (MEAT ROLLS) GERMAN

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375* Spray baking pan
• 2. Prep your skirt steak, should be thinly sliced the length of steak. Your best bet is to have your butcher slice it for you. They don't charge for this service, plus it saves prep time. Prep all vegetables, also dill pickle, sliced thin length wise.
• 3. In a bowl place mustard, garlic, sea salt, and horseradish, mix well. With a pastry brush, brush one side of the steak slices with the mixture, one at a time. Place one slice of onion, one slice bell pepper, and one slice of dill pickle. Roll the steak around them, Then wrap a strip of bacon around it and fastened with a toothpick. Repeat till they are all done. Place in oven, cook for 30 minutes or till golden brown. Turn meat every so often. This also Fantastic cooked on the grill.
• 4. The sauce is for dipping: In a saucepan, add Worcestershire Sauce, Boiling water, 6 bouillon cubes disolved, sugar, pepper, horseradish, bring to a boil on medium heat. In a shaker or small jar place water and cornstarch. Shake or stir with fork till desovled, pour slowly into other mixture stirring sonstantly till gravy sauce has thickened and comes to a boil. If the sauce becomes to thick add water a tablespoon at a time to thin it down. This is great to dip the Rouladen in or you as a gravy on top. This is great for picnics too.

• Lay steak lengthwise on top of bacon.
• Salt and pepper lightly.

ROULADEN, OR RINDERROULADEN, OR GERMAN BEEF ROLLS

Steps:

• 1. A note on the skirt steaks: You can use roundsteak, cut it into large pieces, and pound until about 1/4" thick. You can also use a flank steak, and cut into thin slices. Whatever is available in your meat department or at your butcher. Just make sure you can pound it pretty thin w/ a meat mallet. It has to be thin enough to be "roll-able". Skirt steak is not a tender cut, but is very flavorful. It becomes very tender when you cook it for awhile, as this recipe directs.
• 2. I use the polypropylene liner bags that are inside cereal boxes, when I tenderize any kind of meat ... they're tough, and they don't fall apart, therefore keeping the meat from spattering all over your counter, etc. Pound the meat into sort of oblong sizes, until it's thin enough to roll multiple times around the filling; set aside.
• 3. Mix together the mustard and the horseradish. You can leave the h/r out, if you're not a fan. It does add a very nice flavor, though, and I think it helps tenderize the meat! Spread the mustard/horseradish mixture over each piece of flattened steak, covering the entire thing.
• 4. Separate the onions into rings, and tear them in long pieces, so you can lay them out across the top of the meat pieces. Across the top of the onion strips, lay (length-wise) a piece of the uncooked bacon. Lay a pickle spear (cross-wise) across one end of the flattened meat. [I used chopped pickle in the photo, because it "rolls" easier].
• 5. Roll each piece up, burrito style, making sure everything is nicely tucked in. Seal w/ toothpicks or cooking string. Season w/ salt and pepper.
• 6. Roll each roulade in the flour, just enough to 'dust' it. Don't coat it heavily.
• 7. In a counter top electric skillet, preheated to about 325°, melt the butter & oil together (I use a little of both, because the oil raises the burning temp of the butter). Brown the rouladen evenly, ensuring that you brown all sides. Tip: It helps to use TWO cooking utensils, like a turning fork and a pair of tongs, when turning these over, so you don't "splash" oil, and so you don't tear apart the rolls.
• 8. When rouladen are nicely browned, pour in the beef broth, red wine, & Worcestershire sauce, all around the rouladen; add the bay leaf and just the tiniest pinch of freshly-ground nutmeg - go easy on the nutmeg! Cover securely, keep on LOW (about 275°), and let them cook gently for about 2 hours, or until very tender.
• 9. After a couple of hours, gently remove the beef rolls to a warm platter. Turn heat up to med-high, or thereabouts ... high enough to bring the mixture to a slight simmer or low boil.Mix together the 2 T. of flour (or cornstarch) and cold water, breaking up all lumps. Stir this mixture into the broth, stirring constantly, until well blended and thickened. Return the heat to LOW! Allow to thicken a bit.
• 10. Place the rouladen back into the pan w/ the gravy, and let them simmer for about a 1/2 hour on LOW. Just before serving, stir the dollop of sour cream into the gravy, and mix it in thoroughly. This will give a nice consistency to your gravy, thickening and enriching it with lots of good flavor. Bring the gravy back up to temp, but DON'T let it boil this time, now that you've added the sour cream! Season with more salt and pepper, to taste, if necessary.
• 11. Serve with noodles or spätzle, a good green vegetable or some simmered red cabbage [Rotkohl], and some warm, chunky applesauce (apfelmus, in German - your basic applesauce that is a typical German accompaniment to roast meats like Schweinebraten or Rouladen). Enjoy!
