GERMAN ROULADEN WITH GRAVY 
2 Rouladen steaks per person
spicy brown mustard
2 large diced onions (separated)
diced dill pickle
salt and pepper
tooth picks
1 large bay leaf
2 small cloves
1/2 cup cornstarch

Spread steaks lightly with brown mustard, onions and dill pickle. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roll from the thin end and secure with toothpick. Heat canola oil in large deep pot on top of stove. Sear all sides and allow drippings in bottom of pan to brown well. Place all Rouladen in pot, and add no more than 1/2 inch of water being careful to mix "brownings"from the bottom of the pot into the water, this will bring flavor to the gravy.

Add remaining diced onion, bay leaf and cloves. Seal the lid and turn heat to medium low and allow to simmer until all meat is well cooked. Remove meat to a separate bowl. Remove bay leaf and cloves.

Add enough cold water to cornstarch to create a flowing liquid, amd using a whisk, gradually add to drippings; increase the heat to create a simmer and a gradual thickening of the gravy.

If too thick, add water until you have the consistency you desire. Adjust salt and pepper to taste.

German Rouladen with Gravy

Actually ROULADEN is supposed to have a slice or 2 of bacon in it, then you roll it up. And real Bavarian rouladen does not have bay leaf and cloves. Other than that you put down a good recipe and you should also slow cook it for about an hour or so..

Actually I was born and raised in Germany. And I know almost all the authentic German recipes and my Oma and my mother never put bacon in the rouladen and the gravy was made with brown gravy mix And they always put brown spicy mustard in the inside of the rouladen along with green peppers onions and dill pickles !!

However I do have to say I have seen lots of different ways it's made so I guess every family has its own unique way of making this dish !!
