Beef Rouladen - Delicious Beef Rolls from Germany

Rouladen is a German dish made of beef that is rolled up with bacon, onion, and pickles inside. It is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. I’ve given this recipe a slight French twist.
First, the beef is pounded thin and then seasoned with salt and pepper. Then spread meat with ½ tbsp Dijon mustard. I used Dijon, but traditionally you would use German mustard. Next, bacon or smoked ham, onion, and pickles are placed on top of the beef before it is rolled up and secured with toothpicks or kitchen twine. The Rouladen is then browned in a pan before being simmered in beef broth until tender.
This dish is typically served with potatoes and gravy. For a French twist, Rouladen can also be made with veal instead of beef. Being French, I like it served with mashed potatoes and green beans.
either way, Rouladen is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is sure to please any crowd.

This video is a great way to begin my day because it brings back memories of my childhood. My maternal grandmother was from Germany & both she & my mother would make Rouladen very much like this recipe using bacon instead of smoked ham. I still make it myself & my Scottish wife loves it. You are one fine & versatile chef! Thanks for sharing your recipe with all of us!

[@heinrichrehling8236]

Your grandmother got it just right. Bacon strips or cubes add even more flavor and the bacon ensures that the beef does not become too dry. Best regards from Germany.

[@gerrycorbino66]

@@heinrichrehling8236 thank you sir! I am fortunate to have a German heritage on my mother's side & an Italian (Sicilian) on my father's side. It made for a wonderful variety of foods. Have a blessed day.

Was the bacon partially cooked or just put in there?

Yes, Rinderrouladen are awesome. Craving some with mashed potatoes and red cabbage 😋

[@rizzo170980]

You're so right. This dish needs red cabbage and some potatoes. Mashed potatoes are great but i prefer Kartoffelknödel (potatoe dumplings) and a glass of good red wine.😉🙂

I come from East Poland and this was a very common dish served with dumplings and sauerkraut. Which is also very Polish. Moreover my Swedish friends also found it very Swedish dish.... so this must be very common in few other places then.

Finally a german recipe, hurray. I am born in Germany and my family makes this often at easter or at christmastime. There are different types of fillings. My alltime favourite filling always will be with dijon mustard, bacon stripes and Pickles. Together with red Cabbage and potatoes or "Kartoffelknoedel", a fantastic dish. It is lot of work to do, but the taste is wonderful. I often cook 6-8 of them at once and freeze it for later.

In Czechia it is also called "Spanish bird", usually there would be as well a quarter of hard boiled egg inside and mostly some sort of soft salami instead of the ham. But definitely this variation looks great as well 😍

Beef Rouladen, that is my favorite food since 40 years and more. I was very curious to see the way you prepare them. It is really the way my mother made them, and later me. Only difference: I take a little slice of smoked pig belly instead of cooked ham. And the other difference to my "Rouladen": Yours look very much more attractiv because you have the pactience and the manual skills of a heart surgeon. I have salmon and homemade potatoe-salad tonight. Salad prepared yesterday, so it is a 5-minutes-job today. Kind regards to you with family and of cause the pretty dog from Reinhard

[@harrodsfan]

I agree you gave it a French twist. Scrumptious dish !

[@manuelalindemulder8585]

Rouladen was a special meal for our family.....a Sunday meal , birthday meal or holiday meal. We still love them served with dumplings, red cabbage and a rich mushroom gravy. My parents and grandparents have passed away and I remain to keep the recipe and memory alive. Thankfully my children treasure the recipe too. Thank you for the beautiful memory.
