Ingredients
Instructions
- Prepare the mushroom stuffing according to its recipe.
- Pound each piece of round steak very thin with a meat mallet.
- Sprinkle the steaks with salt and pepper.
- Place 2 tablespoons of mushroom stuffing on each piece of steak.
- Roll each steak as for a jelly roll and tie with butcher's string to secure.
- Coat each rolled steak with flour.
- Brown several roulades at a time on all sides in margarine in a Dutch oven for 5 to 7 minutes.
Tips & Substitutions
For an added flavor boost, consider using fresh herbs like thyme or parsley in the mushroom stuffing. If you don't have margarine, butter or olive oil can work as a substitute for browning the roulades. Ensure the steak is pounded evenly for consistent cooking and tenderness. You can also experiment with different types of mushrooms in the stuffing to create a unique flavor profile.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the steak roulades over a bed of mashed potatoes or rice to soak up the delicious juices. A side of sautéed vegetables or a fresh salad complements the dish well. For a hearty meal, pair it with a glass of red wine. This dish would also be a great addition to your American recipes collection, showcasing classic flavors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different cut of meat instead of round steak?
Yes, you can use flank steak or sirloin for a tenderer option. Just ensure that the meat is pounded thin for proper rolling and cooking. Each cut will impart a slightly different flavor and texture, so choose according to your preference.
What can I add to the mushroom stuffing for extra flavor?
Consider adding ingredients like cooked bacon, grated cheese, or even some finely chopped nuts for added texture and flavor. Experimenting with different spices or a splash of Worcestershire sauce can also enhance the stuffing's taste.
Can I make the roulades ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roulades in advance, store them in the refrigerator, and then cook them the next day. This makes for an easy and convenient meal prep option, perfect for busy weeknights.
