Ingredients
  • 6 slices rib eye steak (you can use other boneless tender cuts of steak)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/3 cup flour
  • 2 tbsp. oil AND 2 tbsp. of butter for browning the meat
  • For Filling:
  • 2 tbsp. butter
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 6 slices of bacon
  • 1 1/2 cups parsely, chopped
  • 2 tbsp. capers, rinsed
  • For Gravy:
  • 2 onions, coarsely chopped
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup dry red wine
  • additional flour for thickening
  • 8 carrots, peeled and halved lengthwise

Directions
  1. Place steaks (one at a time), between 2 sheets of ceran wrap. Pound until thinner and bigger in size. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside.
  2. Mix flour with about 1 tsp. of salt and 1/4 tsp. of pepper in a lg. shallow plate. Set aside.
  3. To make filling:
  4. Sautee 2 chopped onions in 2 tbsp. of butter in a skillet, until translucent. Stir in parsely and capers and turn off the heat.
  5. Place a slice of bacon (fold bacon in half if too long) and about 2 tbsp. of filling on wide end of each slice of beef. Fold beef over 1/4 inch on the sides and roll up from wide end. Tie with a twine, or secure with wooden toothpicks.
  6. Roll the meat in seasoned flour. Reserve leftover flour.
  7. Heat 2 tbsp. oil and 2 tbsp. butter in a Dutch oven, or a heavy pot. Brown beef rolls, a few at a time. Remove from pot when browned.
  8. Add 2 coarsely chopped onions to the Dutch oven. Brown lightly , then add beef rolls back to the pot.
  9. Pour 3 cups beef broth and 1 cup of red wine over top of the beef rolls and onions. Add carrots . Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 90 minutes with the lid closed.
  10. When done cooking, you can remove the rolls, carrots and onions into a platter. Discard the twine/toothpicks.
  11. The sauce should already be somewhat thickened, but if you like it thicker, use the reserved flour (or just use extra flour) to thicken the gravy. Mix about 1/4 cup of flour with some water, using a whisk, until smooth. Stir into Dutch oven and cook, stirring until thickened. Pour over beef rolls and serve with roasted or mashed potatoes.
  12. *Note: you can use some more red wine instead of water mixed with flour, when thickening the gravy.

I love your use of ribeye for your rouladen - that's gotta kick this recipe right over the top of all that is rouladeness...heh. I love this dish and your pictures are wonderful.

My dear, this is another winner!!!! Beautiful pics , I am going to make this for friends coming over to dinner Tuesday!!! Thanks Juels-Your friend Marky


Juels, this is a great post. I love the terrific pictures and you give me hope that I can make this "just like his momma did" I've never quite made it good enough for hubby. I don't think I let the meat braise slowly enough and it was always too tough. I admire the effort this takes. Awesome.


I love this! You make it sound easier to do than I thought it would be! I agree with everyone else here, it is beautiful and a very good recipe!


Oh man, I haven't had rouladen in years - your recipe looks sooooo good! I will attempt to make this at home, since your instructions are so clear and concise (something I really appreciate when making something at home for the first time!)...thanks, Juels.


Wow, Jules these are beautiful, I love all the pictures and the step-by-step impeccable directions. Will definitely make these, thanks for the wonderful recipe!......:)
