Introduction
A classic German comfort food featuring thin round beef steaks rolled up with mustard, red onions, dill pickles, smoked paprika, and smoked ham, simmered to tender perfection in a rich, velvety beef gravy finished with sour cream.
Step 1
Prepare thin round steaks. Place each slice of beef between sheets of cling film (plastic wrap) and use a meat mallet to flatten them evenly.
Step 2
Lay the flattened beef slices flat on a board. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Step 3
Spread about half a tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over one side of each beef slice.
Step 4
Peel and finely slice one red onion, removing the root end. Scatter onion slices over the mustard-spread beef.
Step 5
Slice the dill cucumbers lengthwise into strips and arrange them over the onions. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the top.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Make sure to pound the beef steaks evenly thin so they roll up tightly without tearing.
Traditionally German mustard is used, but Dijon mustard makes an excellent substitute.
Rotating the beef rolls occasionally while simmering ensures even cooking and prevents sticking.
Straining the gravy through a sieve is key to achieving a smooth, professional-grade sauce texture.
