Easy Rouladen Recipe
- This recipe is so easy to make and requires just a few simple ingredients.
- Don’t forget to make the gravy sauce! In a traditional German meal, this gravy is used to dunk potatoes or a well-made egg noodle. For low carb sides, serve Beef Rouladen with Parmesan Roasted Cauliflower, or Cauliflower Fried Rice, and some Fried Cabbage with Bacon.
Ingredients & Variations
BEEF: The beef is cut into long, wide and thin strips usually cut from the top round. Thinly sliced flank steak will also work well.
STUFFING: This roulade calls for only a few simple ingredients like mustard, bacon, onions, and pickles.
GRAVY: Cook rolls in broth, canned mushrooms, and pickle juice. Then use these juices, along with some xanthan gum (to keep it low carb), to make the thick gravy.
How to Make Beef Rouladen
Roll these into a delicious meal.
- Pound the meat & season each piece with some mustard. Add onions, bacon, and pickles.
- Roll and secure with a toothpick.
- Brown rolls in a pan, then add the broth, canned mushrooms, and pickle juice. Roast.
- Make the gravy. (As per recipe below)
Tips for the Perfect Roulade
- Place rolls seam side down in the pan to help prevent rolls from unraveling. It may also be necessary to secure rolls with more than one toothpick.
- Pound thin slices of meat with a mallet to make it extra tender and much easier to cut after it has been cooked.
- For additional flavor, be sure to scrape up any browned bits left in the pan (called the fond or simply pan drippings).
- Prepare and roll the meat ahead of time for a quick and easy dinner later on!
