Thin beef slices rolled around a savory filling of mustard, onions, and pickles, braised until tender in a rich dark gravy.

Ingredients

  • 4 thin beef top round slices (about 150g each)
  • 4 tsp strong mustard
  • 2 dill pickles, quartered lengthwise
  • 2 onions, 1 diced and 1 sliced
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 500ml beef broth
  • 100ml red wine
  • 2 bay leaves
  • Salt, black pepper
  • Kitchen string or toothpicks

Instructions

  1. 1 Pound beef slices thin. Season with salt and pepper, spread mustard on each.
  2. 2 Place pickle strips and diced onion along one edge. Roll up tightly and secure with string or toothpicks.
  3. 3 Sear roulades in hot oil on all sides until well browned. Remove from pot.
  4. 4 Sauté sliced onion in the same pot. Sprinkle with flour, stir, cook 2 min.
  5. 5 Add wine and broth, stir until smooth. Return roulades, add bay leaves. Cover and braise at 160°C (320°F) for 2 hours.
  6. 6 Remove roulades, strain and reduce sauce if needed. Serve with Knödel or Spätzle.

Did You Know?

The pickle inside the roulade is not just for flavor — its acidity helps tenderize the beef during the long braise.
