Ingredients

  • 12 slices thin beef topside or round roast
  • 1 onion thinly sliced
  • 8 sour pickles sliced thinly
  • ¼ cup Dijon mustard or homemade mustard
  • 12 slices bacon uncured/sugar-free
  • cup beef stock or chicken
  • Cooking fat beef tallow, lard, or bacon grease

Instructions

  • To begin, preheat your oven to 300°F/150°C.
  • Lay the thinly sliced beef pieces out on a clean, flat surface. On top of each slice of beef, place a slice of bacon lengthwise down the center.
    12 slices thin beef topside, 12 slices bacon
  • Divide the onion and pickle slices between the bacon slices on top of the beef, making sure they are evenly distributed.
    1 onion, 8 sour pickles
  • Spread mustard over the filling, then roll up the beef slices tightly. The rouladen will be open on both ends but stuffed in the middle. If needed, use toothpicks or kitchen twine to hold them in place.
    ¼ cup Dijon mustard
  • Heat your preferred cooking fat in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the rouladen on each side for about a minute, then transfer them to a roasting pan.
    Cooking fat
  • Once all the rouladen are in the pan, pour beef broth over them, cover the pan, and bake for one hour.
    ⅓ cup beef stock
  • When the rouladen is finished baking, remove the pan from the oven and let it sit for five minutes before serving. Before serving, make sure to remove all twine or toothpicks from the rouladen.

Notes

  • Ask your butcher to slice the beef topside thinly when purchasing. 
  • Use sour or fermented pickles such as Bubbie's or Grillo's. 
  • You can also spread the mustard onto the meat before laying on the bacon and vegetables.
