Rouladen


This is a German dish that my husbands family makes. We have a tradition of celebrating our German heritage at Christmas, making recipes that have been passed down from his mothers family.

INGREDIENTS
12 pieces top round beef, pounded thin (1/4 inch thick)
Salt
Pepper
Mustard
6 slices of precooked bacon
1/2-3/4 c. onions, sliced
12 thin sliced pickles
Nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup butter
5 T. flour
2 cans beef broth

DIRECTIONS
Season beef with salt and pepper. Spread each piece with approximately 1 tsp. mustard. Top with a couple slices of onion, 1 sliced pickle, and 1/2 a slice of bacon. Starting at one short side of each beef piece, fold long edges over, then roll beef tightly. Secure with a toothpick.

Spray large nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Brown beef rolls in batches over medium-high heat. Remove from skillet.

In same skillet, melt butter. Add flour. Cook and stir 1 minute. Add beef broth, stirring constantly. Cook and stir until mixture thickens.

Place beef rolls into a crock pot and poor broth mixture over top into slow cooker. 

Cover and cook on LOW 4-6 hours. Makes 6 to 8 servings.



Note: a 2nd gravy option that we use is...
GRAVY:
1/2 c. pickle juice
1/4-1/2 c. mustard
2 packets of brown gravy mix
2-3 c. water
pepper to taste
