Delight your taste buds with the classic German comfort dish, Rouladen Rolmups—a savory, flavor-packed recipe featuring tender beef slices rolled around a mouthwatering filling of tangy Dijon mustard, smoky bacon, crisp pickles, and sweet caramelized onions. These rolls are seared to golden perfection before being gently simmered in a rich, velvety beef gravy, resulting in melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. Perfect for hearty family dinners or special occasions, this traditional dish is best served with creamy mashed potatoes or buttery spätzle to soak up every drop of the delicious sauce. With simple ingredients and slow-cooked flavor, Rouladen Rolmups offers an authentic taste of German cuisine that will transport you straight to the heart of Europe.
Lay out your thin slices of beef on a clean cutting board and season both sides with salt and pepper.
Spread about 1/2 tablespoon of Dijon mustard evenly over one side of each beef slice.
Place one strip of bacon, a few slices of onion, and one pickle spear on the mustard-covered side of each slice.
Carefully roll each beef slice tightly around the filling and secure the roll with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
Add the beef rolls to the hot oil and brown them on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
Once browned, remove the beef rolls from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the butter and allow it to melt. Then sprinkle in the flour, whisking constantly to form a roux. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes until it turns golden brown.
Slowly pour in the beef stock while whisking to create a smooth gravy. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the beef rolls to the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the gravy. If necessary, add a little more beef stock or water to cover the rolls.
Lower the heat to a gentle simmer, cover the skillet, and cook the Rouladen rolls for 75-90 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Once the rolls are tender, remove the toothpicks or twine before serving.
Serve hot with gravy spooned over the rolls, alongside mashed potatoes, spätzle, or steamed vegetables.
