Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- Place the beef slices on a cutting board and gently pound with a meat tenderizer to ¼-inch thickness.
- Spread a thin layer of mustard over each slice and season with salt and pepper.
- Add a slice of bacon to each piece of beef and top with onions and a dill pickle.
- Roll each rouladen jelly-roll style and secure with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
- In a Dutch oven, heat the butter over medium heat. Add the beef rolls and brown on each side.
- Add the beef broth to the Dutch oven, scraping up any brown bits in the bottom of the pan. Add the canned mushrooms with juices if using and ¼ cup pickle juice (and extra onions if desired). Cover and roast 90-120 minutes or until fork-tender.
To Make Gravy
- Transfer the rouladen to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm, leaving the juices in the Dutch oven.
- Heat juices over medium-high heat until boiling, making sure to scrape up any brown bits. In a small bowl, mix cornstarch with 3 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the boiling broth while whisking to reach the desired thickness. You may not need all of the cornstarch mixture.
- Serve Rouladen over mashed potatoes or elbow macaroni with gravy.
Notes
- *Beef should be about 8-10 inches long, 4.5-inches wide and ¼-inch thick. If the beef strips aren’t long enough, it’s okay to overlap two shorter pieces a bit.
- I prefer to roast cook beef rouladen in the oven but it can be covered and gently simmered on the stove for about 45-55 minutes or until tender.
- Store leftovers in a covered container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or in the microwave until heated through.
