Rouladen is a traditional German dish consisting of thinly sliced beef, spread with mustard, and filled with bacon, onions, and pickles, then rolled up and braised until tender. This hearty dish has its roots in the 19th century and is a staple in German cuisine, particularly in the regions of Bavaria and Swabia. Chefs like Johann Lafer and Alfons Schuhbeck have popularized their own versions of Rouladen, adding their unique twists to the classic recipe. Today, the best Rouladen can be found in authentic German restaurants, where the key to a perfect Rouladen lies in the quality of the beef and the balance of flavors in the filling. For a vegetarian alternative, some chefs use cabbage leaves or seitan to create a similar roll-up effect, offering a delicious option for non-meat eaters.
