Roulades Recipes

TRADITIONAL BEEF ROULADEN

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.

Check often and add water if necessary. When done, remove the string from the roll-ups and plate. Do not discard juice from pan/dish.
• Potato Dumplings (Klosse): Boil and mash (no butter or milk, just plain) 1/3 of the potatoes. Finely grate remaining 2/3 of potatoes, raw. Place in a fine cotton cloth and ring out as much of the extra juice as possible. Combine mashed potatoes with grated potatoes in a bowl with seasonings of choice. Form mixture into 3-inch diameter patties about 3/4 to 1-inch thick. Bring pot of water to a slow rolling boil. Place 5-6 potato patties (dumplings) into the water and boil slowly until they float. Plate the dumplings as they float and cover to keep warm. When all dumplings are finished, use the boiling water for making gravy from the beef roll-up drippings.
• Gravy: Add potato water from mashed-potato boiling to the drippings from the Rouladen. Use about 4 tablespoons of flour to every 1 cup of remaining juice/broth. Mix flour with cold water before adding to hot broth. Bring mixture to a slow boil and whisk until the gravy thickens. Add 1 to 3 tablespoons of Maggies Seasoning. Add a little seasoning at first and continue adding to taste.
