Beef Rouladen - Delicious Beef Rolls from Germany

Rouladen is a German dish made of beef that is rolled up with bacon, onion, and pickles inside. It is simple to make and only requires a few ingredients. I’ve given this recipe a slight French twist.

First, the beef is pounded thin and then seasoned with salt and pepper. Then spread meat with ½ tbsp Dijon mustard. I used Dijon, but traditionally you would use German mustard. Next, bacon or smoked ham, onion, and pickles are placed on top of the beef before it is rolled up and secured with toothpicks or kitchen twine. The Rouladen is then browned in a pan before being simmered in beef broth until tender.

This dish is typically served with potatoes and gravy. For a French twist, Rouladen can also be made with veal instead of beef. Being French, I like it served with mashed potatoes and green beans.

either way, Rouladen is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is sure to please any crowd.

This video is a great way to begin my day because it brings back memories of my childhood. My maternal grandmother was from Germany & both she & my mother would make Rouladen very much like this recipe using bacon instead of smoked ham. I still make it myself & my Scottish wife loves it. You are one fine & versatile chef! Thanks for sharing your recipe with all of us!

As a first generation Canadian from German parents, my mom made this dish all the time. I’ve been thinking about replicating it for some time now. You just gave me the reason to do it! ❤

I love Whiskey and I love that he never enters the kitchen when you cook. He patiently waits for his portion. He’s a great dog. I will try this delicious looking recipe.

This is my favorite German recipe, and I order it every time I see it on the menu. We lived in Germany for three years back in the 1990s, and I had a German friend who would kindly make this occasionally for me. Your videos are such a pleasure to watch, and it’s a special pleasure seeing your darling pooch. I hope the bone was good!

I come from East Poland and this was a very common dish served with dumplings and sauerkraut. Which is also very Polish.
Moreover my Swedish friends also found it very Swedish dish.... so this must be very common in few other places then.

My Oma made this for me as a child whenever I asked and it was divine. I learned from her and now I care for her in her final years, but I haven't made this for her yet! Thank you for the reminder to complete those circles of love and care <3

Wonderfully done. I was born and raised in Germany. I'm an Army brat. My Oma made the best Rouladen, but she used raw bacon. Thank you for the elegant production of this video.

Chef Joel, Is this video about How do you make someone turn into a beef eater in 5 minutes?!!
This Beef Rouladen has blown me away.
It's premium dish.✨

[paulfosbery]

...together with mashed potatoes with milk and butter, and an assortment of boiled vegetables, will do the trick very nicely for me, Joel! That Gravy looks scrumptious...and Whiskey is well satisfied! Take care, all...😊...😊...!

Chef, I want you to know that I do and always read the description you include with the video. I would definitely try this with mashed potatoes and green beans! 😋

Also - good boy, Whiskey!!

I enjoyed the editing and background noises/music. I am Hispanic and would love to make my first German meal for my family. This is it!!!! ❤

[AlexWilliams-qfrp]

I remember this recipe at a restaurant where I worked. But I never tried it. I never saw it being made though. Chef you are so versatile. Maybe I'll try. Yeah for whiskey 😋. Encore merci

[harrodsfan]

I agree you gave it a French twist. Scrumptious dish !

[tintingrandea]

wow, its like morcon food from the Philippines. I feel hungry by just looking to your prepared meal.

Made this yesterday. Substituted strips of bacon for the ham since that's what I had in my fridge. Turned out pretty good although I'm sure the ham would have been even better since the bacon is a little chewy.

Thanks for teaching me this one!

[lestertorcato]

The preparation shown is more amazing chef then the cooking part.Good sauce and the stuffing.Bon Appeti.❤❤❤❤❤
