Beef Rouladen Recipe • A Popular German Dish! | Club Foody

 Years ago, when David and I moved in together, we both shared the dishes that we grow up with. My husband’s heritage is German and mine… well I think you know by now; it’s French. While I’m making him some Boeuf Bourguignon, Bouillabaisse or Coq au Vin, he’s telling me about Pork Schnitzel (Breaded Pork Cutlets), Sauerbraten (Roast Beef Stew), Hasenpfeffer (Rabbit Stew), Knödel (Dumplings), Stollen, and so on.

 
There’s a dish his mother made that he really enjoyed although he only had it a couple of times. After telling me about it and trying to describe how it tastes, I couldn’t resist making some and adding my little French touch to it. It’s Beef Rouladen!
 
This is such a tasty German recipe! How mine differs from his mother’s is in the seasoning department. On the meat slices, I add some smoked paprika and I’m not afraid to season generously with salt and pepper. When I make the gravy, I also add ingredients that are not commonly in a Beef Rouladen recipe such as garlic, Worcestershire sauce and thyme.
 
When I filmed this recipe, I couldn’t find any German mustard so I used the next best thing, Dijon mustard. First, let’s talk about their style of mustard.

– Mittelscharf or Delikatess-Senf is the most popular one in Germany. It’s a mix of yellow and brown mustard seeds. The taste is medium hot and it’s a step up from Dijon. When this mustard is mixed with horseradish, it is called Meerrettich-Senf.

– If we want to get spicier mustard, we go with Scharfer Senf or even Extra Scharf.

– There’s also a Bavarian Sweet Mustard that is obviously on the sweeter side called Süßer Senf or Weißwurst-Senf. It goes amazingly well with Pretzels and Weisswurst (White Veal Sausage).
 
My favorite mustard is Mittelscharf and it’s so great for the Beef Rouladen recipe although the Meerrettich-Senf is pretty good. Another ingredient that makes such an impact on this dish is Dill Pickles. They are sliced lengthwise and easy to roll. The same applies to the onion slices which is technically called Lyonnaise cut.
 
This moist, tender and flavorful Beef Rouladen dish is amazing! I like to serve them with mashed potatoes and my husband’s delicious German Red Cabbage side dish. Topped with the beautiful gravy, this is a meal everyone will enjoy…
Bon Appétit!
