The rolled classic with savoury filling.

Although the word roulade comes from the French - derived from "rouler" for roll or turn - the beef roulade under this name is a typical German and Austrian dish. In France, "roulade" is understood to mean a roll in floor gymnastics or a somersault. In France, beef roulades are called "paupiettes de boeuf".

 

No question about it: roulades are absolute kitchen classics. That's why our recipe, developed with Kitchen Stories, is also quite classic: with mustard, bacon, onion and gherkin. That sounds a bit like the old days and even more like Sunday. On the stove, the roulades stew gently and long. And while this gives you time for nice Sunday activities, the spicy scent soon spreads throughout the house.

 

A delicious sauerkraut goes very well with roulades. And that's when it becomes French again in this recipe. Because: We heat the sauerkraut with a little beef stock, as is often done in France. Since we need the beef stock for the roulades anyway, we simply pinch off a little for the sauerkraut. When the classic beef roulades are ready after about 1.5 hours, you can enjoy this classic to your heart's content.
