🇩🇪 Germany recipe
Rouladen
Rouladen are one of Germany's most iconic Sunday dinner traditions. Thin slices of top-round beef are spread with sharp mustard, layered with smoky bacon and tangy pickles, rolled into tight bundles, and braised in a dark, rich gravy until the beef is meltingly tender. Served with red cabbage and potato dumplings, they are the definition of German home cooking.
