Bro... This is exactly like my Oma use to make... She taught me how to make this when I was young... Thanks for reminding me... I'm making this dish tomorrow...

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So happy to hear this 😃😃😃

You just made my day!! So happy to hear this and thanks for taking the time to write in and let me know :) :) :)

[@bluethunder1951]

I make my Rouladen with exactly the same recipe, but with a twist, I caramelize the onions before putting them on to take off the edge and cook the bacon so it’s crispy this gives it so much more flavour, I also add a can of button mushrooms with sliced onions on top. Yours looks great!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Thanks for sharing your tips with us 👍👍

Thank-you for a wonderful video. I cannot wait to try making the rouladen. Hello from Manitoba.

[@michaelbressette2599]

I remember when I made these ages ago at a place called Café Vienna here in Ontario which has long since gone but I remember some of their recipes & YES this is exactly how we made them as where most of their recipes "Authentic Traditional" & they are absolutely delicious. We used cooking string to tie them into attractive little bundles. Yours looks amazing.

I have been making my mothers rouladen for all of my adult life. The ingredients are the same, but I par cook the bacon first to render out the fat before I roll them up. Then brown in the bacon fat. Also, I add beef stock to the dutch oven to partially cover the meat and braise for about 2 hours. After removing the meat to keep warm, I thicken the gravy with a flour slurry. It's interesting how many different ways people make the same dish. This is hands down my family's favorite. I make it every Christmas eve, and special occasions.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Thanks for sharing your family tips with us 👍👍👍

[@garrykniffen1461]

You should post your video, it sounds marvelous.

[@marlies7444]

Yes the liquid for braising is important. We also turn it once halfway through. Bay leaves and Worcester sauce to season the gravy.

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

I would not get rid of the fat from the bacon, that gives good flavor and also moisture.

[@frankelasavage2717]

Great job on making these Rouladen! Being a German, My Oma and mother taught this dish to me, that was handed down to us. We never used soy sauce though. Try using the pickle juice instead! It adds a great flavor to the dish. Again, great job!!

I grew up in communist Poland, in Poznan. When my mom could the right meat, she would make the exact same recipe, but with kopytka (potato dumplings). Meat was hard to find in stores. We also ate red cabbage. This dish was and still is very popular in Silesia, western Poland. Polish food is a happy combination of German, Russian, Austrian, French, and a bit of Turkish foods. Lovely video!

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

so glad you enjoyed this episode and thanks for sharing your family memories with us from Poland :)

I like a 1/2 duck crispy with red cabbage and mashed potaroes. The time i ate that was at the Berghoff restarant in Chicago!

Nice try making this recipe

[@charlesseekssilver2985]

This looks almost exactly like my Gram’s rouladen except she would put the potatoes in a skillet with bacon grease and get a nice crisp on the outside. I haven’t had hers in over 25 years, but I think this is coming for Sunday dinner this weekend.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Sounds good 👍👍 So happy to hear this🙂🙂

[@carmenkashlan9497]

Well done, I do it the same way over here in Germany. 100% approved.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Thanks for that feedback and great to hear from you in Germany 👍👍

[@bunk822]

Sounds good 😁

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

I have made Rouladen for 64 years . I do not salt the meat, but I take a thick slice of bacon and put it lenghtwise over the meat. The bacon contains enough salt. I never serve the meat the same day I cooked it. It needs to rest overnight in the fridge. Soysauce in gravy for rouladen is unheard of.BUT I am curious and will try it! I also add a carrot the gravy. I am open to the idea of using potato water in the sauce, that is a new way for me too! We will see! Guten Appetit !

I looked at your first video on how to preserve sun dried tomatoes then I went on your link for this recipe. I have never heard of this dish, I don’t know any traditional Germans here in Los Angeles. That is packaged bacon that you cook prior to assembling this dish right? It was a pleasure watching you and seeing your love for cooking. Thank you. ❤

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So glad you are enjoying my videos and yes, I just used packaged bacon👍

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

You do not cook the bacon prior to assembly! 1

I haven't made Rouladen for a long time, it is is actually pretty easy. Finding a butcher or the right cut is difficult. My local grocery store only sells pre-packaged, but we do have Mennonite meat shops, I'll ask them.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

...they should have it👍👍

[@vickifilipek734]

Mexican stores have the thin slices of top round. That's where I get my meat now because it is hard to get grocers to cut it right if at all. In fact I'm making rouladen today. But I roll mine closed with cooking string instead of toothpicks.

[@fin59shaw]

@@vickifilipek734 Awesome that you were making Rouladen today! Thanks for the info on Mexican round steak cuts!

[@antoniocastillo3018]

So great to see you cook Rouladen 😍 And even better to see you enjoying it! Great vid and so well done! I never used soy sauce for teh gravy but I will try this for sure next time. btw. what recipe did you use for the red cabbage?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

So glad you enjoyed this episode and happy to hear you are going to try soy sauce in your gravy...you're going to love it 👍As for the red cabbage, I must say LOL because I bought it in a jar, imported from Germany 👍👍

[@sunnymeb]

This looks amazing! Yum. Did you just boil the cabbage?

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

..I did not boil it..I just heated it up in a pan on the stove top👍

[@bgueberdenteich5206]

I prepare my red cabbage in my pressure cooker for only 1 minute ! Do not remover cover for 5 minutes!

[@joesmith7427]

Braciole!! Im part italian!! I would cook it in duck fat!! Maybe i would use sweet pickles!! Im part french too!! These would be real good in spagetti sauce for a few hours!

[@OWK000]

My German mom made those. I do my version. Your bacon is awesome, dry and relatively lean, but I find especially commerical bacon is too fatty and thick and just gross, so I use thin slices of proscuito instead and it is what I definitely recommend. You don't need that much. (Maybe render some diced up bacon or salted pork bits for lard and flavor to saute the rouladen and onions in. ) Also pickles are lovely, but I prefer pickled Italian pepperonci out of the jar instead. We usually leave the onions sliced so they won't fall out so easy, but either diced or sliced works well. Schmeck!

[@rimstalker2292]

Toothpicks? My family has special Rouladen-together-holders that are passed down the generations. I have either seen steel belts (many holes, and a hook on the other end to close them tight), or a bident like thing with the tiniest of a handle.

[@CookingwiththeCoias]

Wow - super nice!! I will need to get me some👍🙂

[@cherylschwotzer3227]

I would love to try this recipe, will the butcher cut the meat like that for you?

[@OWK000]

Mexican groceries sell meat for carnitas that is thin like this and useable for rouladen, although the size thickness and quality of the meat in this video is mostly superior

[@cherylschwotzer3227]

Yes, just ask the butcher for rouladen and he/she will cut it for you and ensure that you get the right cut👍👍

Interesting.... thanks for sharing your family's tip with us 👍👍

[@heatherbell5306]

I’ve been making my gramma’s rouladen for years, and wanted to watch this to see how it compared. The ONLY difference is that my Gramma used Marmite instead of soy sauce, and… my addition was to mix the thickening agent with a good glug of red wine instead of water. I agree, Ivo… this dish makes the best tasting gravy EVER. Always a joy to see someone enjoying good food 😊

[@fashionwire3364]

Similar to what my family makes in Germany, but we never used (or even owned) soy sauce.

[@cynnail395]

I remember eating this while stationed in Germany. Your cooking style made me a bit nervous as you poured the gravy while over the stovetop. One small slip and you'd have had a very big mess to clean up.😮

[@Phydra]

@@CookingwiththeCoiasadd carrots and perennials celery and leek. Some garlic is always good. Dont add so much water. use some red wine instead (400ml Potato Water : 400ml Red Wine) and boil until the alcohol is gone. instead of corn-stew use some old black bread, roast it until its dry and gets some more color. Add that to the sauce and boil it up. Add Tomato Paste. In the End you can press through a sieve. Instead of the bred u can use "Soßenlebkuchen" (gravy gingerbread) instead. Makes it a bit more taste like christmass. My mom and my grandmom made it like that and it is S++

[@TheNortheastAl]

Ivo, that bacon looks like the German double smoked bacon. Mmmmm!

[@joesmith7427]

How about rolled in duck breast with gruyere cheese??

my mom used green pepper instead of pickle. She just preferred it like that.

My mutti and I make this every year for the holidays. We make about 20,they are eaten. However, we make ours with traditional gurken( german pickles) and when the meat is cooking its got got 1 onion,1tomato,and 1 leek. Cook on the stove with a bit of stock. The gravy is Raum sauce with a bit of saur cream,not brown gravy. Served with knudell, semmel or pfanne.

Just ask your meat person for thin sliced top round. about 1/4". The cut in the vid is top round without the cap, not eye of round. Trust me, I cut meat for 27 yrs, now retired. I've always wanted to try making this as I'm of German heritage.
