Rinderrouladen (Bavarian Stuffed Steak)
Rinderrouladen (German Beef Roulades) is a German dish made from thin slices of beef wrapped around a savory filling, then braised until tender.
Our recipe is not the traditional or classic rouladen recipe, but it is very tasty and easy to make.
Choose the Right Cut of Meat
- Use top round (also called silverside) or bottom round—thinly sliced, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Each slice should be about 10 to 12 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide.
Tip
- Don’t overfill—this helps the roulades roll tightly and cook evenly.
Roll and Secure Properly
- Roll tightly starting from the short end.
- Secure with kitchen twine, toothpicks, or small metal skewers.
