Crab Rouladen Recipe

How to make it

---

• Mince your mushrooms, green onions, green pepper and crab meat. Put all these in a bowl and stir together.
• In another bowl, cut up your cream cheese (makes for easier mixing) and salt and pepper.
• Using a mixer, blend the cream cheese until creamy.
• Add your minced ingredients. Blend again until it forms a thick filling.
• Take the beef out of the package and unroll it. The slice of beef may be very long (depending on your butcher). You need a peice about 6 - 7 inches long and can be up to 5 inces wide; any longer and it becomes too big.Rolling out your rouladen, place a large tablespoon full (or more if you like) of the filling at one end of the meat. Roll it up lenght wise and pin the ends down with a toothpick (helps somewhat to keep the filling in).
• Place each rouladen on a cookie sheet.
• Broil the meat until it is completely brown on the outside approximately 15 minutes (inside might be a little pink still but that is ok - cook longer if you prefer well done beef).
• While it is cooking prepare your Crab Sauce. It is basically a white sauce with crab meat.
• Put the butter and flour into a sauce pan. Turn the heat to medium until the butter melts. Stir continuously until it forms a soft paste.
• Gradually add the milk. Not too much or it will form lumps.
• Continuously stir until the mixture thickens.
• Turn the heat down and add the salt, pepper and chopped crab meat. Stir until it is well blended.
• Place a lid on the sauce and remove from heat once it has started to boil.
• Once your rouladen is cooked, remove it from the oven. Place individual peices on a plate and spoon the crab sauce on the top (again quantity preference if you like a little or a lot).
• Serve with a salad and roast potatoes if you like.
• Enjoy!
