A hearty beef roulade filled with pickles and herbs, browned to perfection, ideal for a comforting family meal with rich flavors and tender meat.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Dice the onion.
- Salt and pepper the steaks.
- Add rosemary and sprinkle half of the diced onion on the steaks.
- Place half of the dill pickle slices on each steak.
- Roll the steaks, securing with toothpicks.
- Heat 2 tablespoons shortening in a skillet.
- Brown the rolled steaks on both sides.
- Remove the steaks and place them in a casserole.
Tips & Substitutions
For enhanced flavor, consider marinating the steaks overnight with salt, pepper, and herbs. If you don't have salt pork, pancetta or bacon can serve as a substitute. You can also use finely chopped pickles for a more even distribution of flavor. When browning the steaks, ensure your skillet is hot enough to achieve a nice sear, which locks in the juices.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the roulade sliced, drizzled with a bit of the cooking broth. It pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. For a cozy side, consider serving with Momma'S Baked Beans. A crisp green salad can also complement the rich flavors of the dish.
Storage & Reheating
Leftover roulade can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, place the roulade in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 15-20 minutes, or until warmed through. Adding a splash of beef broth can help maintain moisture during reheating.
