Benlose Fugle-Boneless Birds
Benlose Fugle-Boneless Birds features tender rolled steak filled with bacon and onions, simmered in a savory flour-based sauce, perfect for hearty, comforting meals.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Pound the round steak and cut into 4-inch squares.
- Place a small piece of bacon or sausage meat, chopped onion, and spices on each square.
- Roll up each square and fasten with a toothpick.
- Brown the rolled steaks in a skillet.
- Make a sauce by browning the flour, then add salt, pepper, and boiling water.
- Pour the sauce over the browned rolls.
- Cover and simmer for 1 hour.
Tips & Substitutions
For a more flavorful filling, consider adding herbs like thyme or parsley alongside the bacon or sausage. If you don’t have round steak, flank steak works well too. To thicken the sauce, add a bit more flour if needed. Ensure the sauce simmers gently to avoid toughening the meat, similar to the techniques used in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Benlose Fugle with a side of mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables for a hearty meal. It pairs beautifully with Ann'S Baked Beans for a delightful contrast in flavors. Garnish with fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover Benlose Fugle can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the rolls in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture, or microwave them covered to avoid drying out.
