German Restaurant Steak Recipes

GERMAN RESTAURANT STEAK

Steps:

• Season steak with salt, pepper and seasoned salt to taste.
• In a large skillet, melt butter and add sliced onion. Cook on medium low heat, cook until onions become tender and lightly browned. About 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, cook steak on the grill until it reaches your desired liking.
• Add sourcream to the onions and stir to combine. Pour the mixture over the top of the grilled steak.
• Variation: You could add mushrooms with onions during the saute. This restaurant did not to my recollection, but that would also be yummy.

GERMAN ROULADEN

Steps:

• Cut the flank steak into thin filets; about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches wide.
• Generously spread one side of each filet with mustard to taste. Place bacon, onions and pickle slices on each filet and form into a roll. Use string or toothpicks to hold the roll together.
• Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Place the rolls in the butter and saute until browned.
• Pour in 2 1/2 cups of water and add the bouillon cube; stirring to dissolve the bouillon cube. Simmer the rolls for about an hour.

GERMAN STEAK TARTARE (HORS D'OEUVRES)

Steps:

• Lightly oil the inside of a 5-cup ring mold.
• Drain oil off anchovy fillets; separate and drain each on paper towels.
• Chop 4 of the fillets very finely and leave remaining whole; set aside.
• Chop onion very finely—you should have 1/2 cup.
• Put chopped anchovy, chopped onion, ground beef, capers, egg yolks, salt, pepper, and parsley in a large bowl.
• Using a wooden spoon, toss and mix until very well combined.
• Taste, and if necessary, add more seasonings.
• Mixture should be highly seasoned.
• Spoon meat mixture into the prepared ring mold, pressing down firmly with the back of a wooden spoon to pack tightly and remove all air holes.
• Cover meat-filled mold tightly with plastic wrap and chill for 2 to 3 hours or until ready to serve.
• To unmold: Uncover ring mold.
• Using a small knife, loosen meat mixture from edges of mold.
• Place a serving dish upside down on top of mold; invert mold and serving dish.
• Shake firmly to release meat mixture; remove mold.
• To garnish and serve: Arrange anchovies on top of meat mixture in a crisscross fashion and garnish with red pepper cubes.
• Drain olives; mound in center of ring mold.
• Arrange watercress around edge of meat.
• Be sure to keep the Steak Tartare refrigerated until ready to serve.
• It is especially good served on unsalted saltine crackers, English water biscuits, or small rounds of rye bread.
