Marianne’s Delectable Rouladen

Fun Stuff!, Inga's Kitchen

MarianneEvery year, my beautiful and talented mother Marianne would make Rouladen (Roll AHHH Den) for Christmas Eve dinner. The only problem was that because they are so yummy, there usually weren’t enough of them, not matter how many she made!

Rouladen is a German recipe consisting of bacon, onions, mustard and pickles wrapped in thinly sliced beef cooked to perfection. It takes a little work, but give it a try – you will love it! Make sure and make gravy from it, delicious!

Marianne’s Delectable Rouladen

Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds flank steak (my dad swears by Stater Bros. carne assada)
German stone ground mustard, to taste
1/2 pound thick sliced bacon
2 large onions, sliced
1 (16 ounce) jar dill pickle slices
2 tablespoons butter
2 1/2 cups water
1 cube beef bouillon
Directions

1. Cut the flank steak into thin filets (not necessary if you use the Stater Bros. Carne Asada); about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches wide.
2. Generously spread one side of each filet with mustard to taste. Place bacon, onions and pickle slices on each filet and form into a roll. Use string or toothpicks to hold the roll together.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Place the rolls in the butter and saute until browned.
4. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of water and add the bouillon cube; stirring to dissolve the bouillon cube. Simmer the rolls for about an hour or until tender.

Enjoy and have fun and let me know how you did!
