Rouladan - Divine!

Tonight, for the very first time I tried making a German dish called Rouladan. I was skeptical of how it would turn out and to be honest....kind of expecting it to fail!
Much to my very happy surprise, it turned out fantastic! I also topped this tasty dish with a personal favorite of mine, garlic mushrooms! *drool*

Anyways, without any further adew, I have some pics to post for you and a recipe! Enjoy!


GERMAN ROULADIN
1 1/2 pounds flank steak
German stone ground mustard (or I've used Dijon)
1/2 pound thick sliced bacon
2 large onions, sliced
sandwich saver dill pickles
2 tbsp butter2 1/2 cups water
1 cube beef bouillon

1. Cut the flank steak into thin fillets, about 1/4 inch thick and 3 inches wide 
2. Generously spread one side of each fillet with mustard, to taste. Place bacon, onions and pickles on each fillet, and form into a roll. Use string or toothpicks to hold the rolls together.
3. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Place the rolls in the butter and saute until browned.
4. Pour in 2 1/2 cups of water and add the bouillon cube, stirring to dissolve the cube. (I mix my beef cube with water before adding to meat...it's easier, plus, I use 2 cubes/packets/tsp)
 Simmer rolls for about an hour.

I did make a few changes from the recipe above though. I used Dijon Mustard with Chardonnay, only 1 sliced onion and I used already mixed Beef Broth.

Also, if you want to add the tasty garlic mushrooms on top, all you have to do is melt some butter in a sauce pan, add some minced garlic and toss your cut up mushrooms in. Let them simmer for a bit and then add some pepper on top! Once they are done to your taste, place them on top of your Rouladan, serve and enjoy!

Easily one of my favorite foods!

All in all it was a great cooking night for me! If you try the recipe, please comment and let me know how it goes!

Until next time, Ciao!
