Morning all,
New Years day meal was going to be seafood. But Ann was concerned about her gout. So, dinner got switched to Rouladen. That's ok. We can do seafood another day. I sliced a top round nice and thin. And rolled it up with bacon and onions. We don't add pickles.

Sprinkled with pepper and paprika.

Ready for the frying pan.

After getting browned. Add water. Cover and simmer for a few hours.
Then remove. Add a corn starch slurry to make the gravy.

Money shot! Darn right tasty meal! Hope everyone had a great New Years day!

Fantastic ! I've been wanting to do these . That gravy looks top notch .
Wondering about the pickle . I add a dill spear to the crock pot when I do beef , but was thinking maybe to much rolled up ?

Thanks! I guess it's just a preference. And regional thing. In southern Germany. It was rare to see a pickle in them. Up north. It was hard to get them without.

Looks great. I have made beef rouladen a few times and always used the pickle and also spread mustard on the beef before assembling.

Did you coat the rouladen with four before frying? My recipe does not fry the rouladen. I may change that up seeing your rendition.

Spent 2 years in the Mainz - Wiesbaden area in the service and the mustard and pickle version is what I had there.

Do you happen to know what region your recipe came from?

I am going to have to make these again soon.

I was in Darmstadt. Around 30 miles from you. It is surprising the variations of local dishes. I gave the beef a light dusting of flour. Ann got the recipe from her mom.

Awesome Steve! My wife is from Wiesbaden and her mom cooks a lot of great food, but we pretty much stick with goulash and schnitzel. I think we’ll have to add this to the rotation! Thank you for sharing!

Agreed. I was stationed in Wackernheim and a short walk to Ingelheim already was showing food variations. I just loved all the food and spirits that were available in Germany. Would go back in a heartbeat if I could.

I would love to. Haven't been back in about 10 years.
