Rouladen with Spaetzle
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 4 slices of beef round steak, about 1/4 inch thick and 6x4 inches in size
- 4 slices of bacon
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 4 dill pickles, halved lengthwise
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 2 cups of beef broth
- 1/2 cup of red wine
- 1/4 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of water
- 1 pound of spaetzle noodles
- 2 tablespoons of butter
- 2 tablespoons of chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Lay the beef slices flat and season with salt and pepper. Place a slice of bacon, some chopped onion, and a pickle half on each slice. Roll up the beef and secure with toothpicks.
- In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Brown the beef rolls on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the beef broth and red wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Return the beef rolls to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 1.5 hours, or until the beef is tender.
- In a small bowl, mix the flour and water to make a smooth paste. Remove the beef rolls from the skillet and discard the toothpicks. Stir the flour paste into the skillet to thicken the sauce, then simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
- While the beef rolls are simmering, prepare the spaetzle according to package instructions. Drain and toss with butter and chopped parsley.
- Serve the beef rouladen with the gravy from the skillet and the buttered spaetzle. Enjoy!
Rouladen with Spaetzle is a classic German dish that has been enjoyed for generations. The dish originated in the Swabian region of Germany, where it was traditionally prepared by skilled chefs in local taverns and restaurants. The tender, thinly sliced beef is rolled with mustard, onions, and bacon, then braised until it's melt-in-your-mouth tender. The rich, savory flavors of the rouladen are perfectly complemented by the light and fluffy spaetzle, a type of egg noodle that is a staple in German cuisine. Today, the best versions of this dish can be found in authentic German restaurants and beer gardens, where chefs take pride in preserving the traditional flavors and techniques. To make the perfect rouladen with spaetzle, it's essential to use high-quality beef and to braise it slowly to achieve the ideal texture and flavor. While the traditional method involves braising the rouladen in a rich gravy, some chefs also experiment with alternative cooking methods, such as grilling or roasting, to add a unique twist to the dish. Whether enjoyed in a cozy German eatery or prepared at home with a personal touch, rouladen with spaetzle is a comforting and satisfying meal that continues to delight food lovers around the world.
