Introduction
A classic German comfort food featuring thin beef slices rolled up with mustard, bacon, onions, and pickles, then simmered to tender perfection in a rich gravy.
Step 1
Season thin beef slices with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on one side.
Step 2
Spread a generous layer of mustard (Dijon or German) over the seasoned beef surface.
Step 3
Place bacon slices on top of the mustard, leaving about two inches bare at the bottom end.
Step 4
Sprinkle a generous amount of paprika over the bacon slices.
Step 5
Arrange thinly sliced onions across the beef, perpendicular to the rolling direction.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
Use a lean, tough cut of beef like bottom round; the slow-cooking process will make it tender while being economical.
Leaving a bare patch at the end of the beef slice helps seal the roll properly when wrapping.
Pour cold stock into the hot roux all at once and whisk quickly to ensure a completely smooth gravy.
Skimming off the excess fat at the end keeps the gravy rich but not overly greasy.
