Rouladen I Rouladen II Rouladen w/ Green Chile |
| Rouladen with Green Chile ~ Rolled Beef - A favorite German beef dish. I first encountered this dish when I was stationed in Germany. This is not the original recipe. It has been modified for green chile. 8 beef slices, thin - cut from an uncooked beef roast 2 tbls Dijon mustard 4 oz bacon, uncooked; diced 4 green chiles, roasted, peeled, chopped 1/4 cup onion, diced small 1 cup water, boiling Sauce 1 cup tomatillo puree 1 tsp cornstarch 1 tbls lemon juice 8 tbls oil salt to taste 1. Cut thin slices (1/4 inch thick) of beef. ( Cut the meat with the grain of the meat. ) 2. Pound the slices lightly to flatten and tenderize them. Brush lightly with prepared mustard. 3. Sprinkle the slices with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. In a small bowl mix together the bacon, onions, and green chile. Spread the mixture on the meat slices. 4. Starting at the narrow end, roll up the meat slices and secure them with toothpicks, or string. 5. Heat the oil in a heavy pot. Brown the rolls well in the oil. Add about 1 cup of boiling water to the pot very carefully. Cover the meat and braise gently until done, about 2 to 2-1/2 hours. Add water as needed to keep level fairly constant. 6. When the meat is cooked, remove the rolls to a hot plate and thicken the gravy with cornstarch, tomatillo, and lemon juice. Salt to taste. Serves 4 |
