Beef Roulade

Red Cabbage

Potato Dumplings

Method

Beef Roulade

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C). Lay the flank steak on a clean surface and gently pound it to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

  2. 2

    Season and Fill

    Rub the beef with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Spread minced garlic, chopped thyme, carrot, and onion evenly over the meat. Roll the beef tightly from one end to the other and secure with kitchen twine.

  3. 3

    Sear the Roulade

    In a large oven-safe pot, heat a bit more olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the beef roulade on all sides until browned, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  4. 4

    Braised Cooking

    Pour in the beef broth and red wine. Bring the liquid to a simmer, cover with a lid, and transfer to the preheated oven. Braise for about 2 hours, or until the beef is tender.

Red Cabbage

  1. 5

    Cook the Cabbage

    In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the shredded red cabbage and cook for about 5 minutes until it begins to wilt.

  2. 6

    Add Flavorings

    Stir in apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, and cinnamon. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cabbage is tender and caramelized.

Potato Dumplings

  1. 7

    Cook the Potatoes

    Boil the peeled and chunked potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let them cool slightly.

  2. 8

    Make the Dough

    Mash the potatoes until smooth. In a bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, flour, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

  3. 9

    Shape and Cook the Dumplings

    Shape the dough into 1-inch balls. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the dumplings until they rise to the top, about 3-4 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon.
