Ingredients
Instructions
- Using 1 flank steak, veal or breast of lamb, trim the edges to make it even.
- Spread the salt, cloves, white pepper, and minced onion over the meat.
- Roll the meat up jelly roll fashion.
- Tie firmly with a strong cord so it will hold the roll.
- Place the meat in a kettle of boiling salted water or broth.
- Allow to simmer until the meat is tender.
- Remove from water and cool in refrigerator.
- Slice thin and serve on open-faced sandwiches.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider substituting minced garlic or shallots for the onion. If you prefer a spicier kick, a dash of cayenne pepper can enhance the seasoning. Ensure the meat is properly tied to prevent it from unrolling during cooking. Using veal or lamb will give a richer taste, while flank steak provides a leaner option. Don't forget to taste the boiling water or broth; it should be well-seasoned.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the sliced Rolle Pulse on crusty bread for delightful open-faced sandwiches. Top with mustard or a dollop of Prune Relish for a tangy contrast. It pairs beautifully with Cauliflower-Grape Salad for a refreshing side dish. Consider serving it alongside pickles or a simple green salad to balance the richness of the meat.
Storage & Reheating
Leftovers should be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and can last for up to four days. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for up to three months. To reheat, slice the meat and warm it gently in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of broth to keep it moist. Avoid microwaving, as this can dry out the meat.
