    If you're looking for a meal that is both comforting and healthy, you can't go wrong with paleo beef rouladen. This classic German dish consists of tender beef that is rolled up with a flavorful filling and slow-cooked until it is melt-in-your-mouth delicious.

    The best part? This dish is both paleo and AIP-friendly, making it a great option for those who are looking to eat clean and nourishing meals. The ingredients used in this recipe are compliant with both diets, and the flavors are bold and delicious

    Paleo Beef Rolls

    One of the great things about beef rouladen is that it is a versatile dish that can be served in a variety of ways. For a traditional German-style meal, serve the rouladen with roasted potatoes and red cabbage. Of course, everything is better with these paleo mashed potatoes. Alternatively, you could serve it with a side of cauliflower rice or zucchini noodles for a lower-carb option. To add more nutrients to the dish, serve with this sauteed zucchini and carrot dish.

    If you're looking for a way to switch things up, try adding some vegetables to the filling. Carrots, onions, and mushrooms are all great options that add both flavor and nutrition to the dish. You could also experiment with different seasonings, such as smoked paprika or cumin, to give the dish a unique twist.

    Serves: 6 Prep Time: 20 minutes Cook Time: 1 hour

    Ingredients

    • 12 slices thin beef topside or round roast
    • 1 onion, thinly sliced
    • 8 sour pickles, sliced thinly
    • ¼ cup Dijon mustard
    • 12 slices bacon (uncured/sugar-free)
    • â…“ cup beef stock
    • Cooking fat of choice

    How to Make Paleo Rouladen

    Preheat the oven to 300°F/150°C.

    On a clean, flat surface, separate and lay the thinly sliced beef pieces out. On top of each piece of beef, lay a slice of bacon lengthwise in the middle.

    Then, divide the onion and pickle slices over the bacon slices on top of the beef.

    Once in place, spread mustard on top and then roll the rouladen. It will be open on both ends but stuffed in the middle. If needed, use toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold them in rolls.

    Now, in a large skillet, heat your preferred cooking fat over medium heat. Brown the rouladens on each side, for 1 minute, then transfer into a roasting pan.

    After all of the beef rouladen is in the pan, pour the beef broth into the pan, cover it, and bake for 1 hour.

    Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes before serving. Be careful to remove all twine or toothpicks before serving.
