Oktoberfest on the Egg: German Beef Rouladen

RaleighGuy

This has always been one of my favorite German dishes, so I decided to try it on the egg. I butterflied flat-iron steak with a filet knife, and then pounded out thin. I have seen this done with chuck roast before, so you could use that also.

Then, spread with Dijon mustard, and put in a pickle spear and chopped onions.

Tie with butcher string.

Give a quick sear in the dutch oven.

 

Pop open a nice Spaten Oktoberfest and enjoy.

 

Sautee 1 cup chopped bacon and 1 cup chopped onions.Deglaze dutch oven with some beer (you could use red wine also). Add 3 cups beef stock. Put rouladens back in dutch oven and braise at 300 for 3 hours.

Serve with baseball size potato dumplings and sour kraut. Pour lots of gravy over dumplings and rouladen. It is hard to make German food pretty, but it tastes so good!

I completely disagree. There is nothing prettier than German food for me.
