Beef Filling

Cooking Liquid

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beef

    Lay the beef flank steak flat on a cutting board and pound it to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Add Fillings

    Spread a thin layer of mustard on the beef. Place slices of bacon, chopped onion, and pickles evenly over the beef.

  3. 3

    Roll the Beef

    Starting from one end, roll the beef tightly around the fillings. Secure the roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine.

Cooking

  1. 4

    Sear the Rouladen

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the rouladen on all sides until browned.

  2. 5

    Simmer

    Add beef broth, red wine, bay leaves, and thyme to the skillet. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for 1.5 to 2 hours until the beef is tender.

  3. 6

    Serve

    Remove the rouladen from the pot, let rest for a few minutes, then slice and serve with gravy made from the cooking liquid.
