Easy Beef Rouladen

by

Beef Rouladen is a traditional German dish that takes strips of meat, covers them with other types of meat and pickled ingredients, rolls them up securely, and cooks them for a delicious meat pocket. This specific recipe for Beef Rouladen is crafted for the ease of the preparer, putting aside any potential difficulty one may have when gathering pickled ingredients and narrowing down the meats for very traditional ingredients you can grab here at The Butcher Shop. What you’re left with is an incredibly simple and delicious meal for you to put together!

beef rouladenIngredients for Beef Rouladen:

  • 2 lbs. TBS steak, ½ inch thick, round
  • 6 TBS sausage links, smoked
  • 2 T. lard
  • 1 tsp. Salt 
  • 1 med. Onion, sliced
  • 1 (15-oz.) can of tomatoes
  • 1 (15-oz.) can sauerkraut

Directions:

  1. First, pound the steak into a ¼ thickness. You’ll use the steak as a wrapping of sorts, so making it thin and easy to work with is key.
  2. Cut the steak into 6 pieces and place a single link of sausages onto each piece of steak and roll it up, similar to pigs in a blanket. Secure with any sturdy skewer.
  3. In a large pan, place and heat the lard, then place the meat in the pan to brown it. Proceed to pour out any excess lard. 
  4. Begin to season with the salt, and add the onion, can of tomatoes, and the liquid from the sauerkraut. (Not the sauerkraut itself, reserve for later.) 
  5. Cover the pan and cook for one hour. Once the hour has passed, add the sauerkraut and let simmer for 30 minutes or longer until the meat is tender. 
  6. Serve and remove the skewers.
