Authentic Gluten-Free German Rouladen

Ingredients:

4 beef rouladen (thinly sliced beef)
4 slices of gluten-free bacon
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/4 cup of gluten-free mustard
1/4 cup of chopped pickles (dill or sweet)
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon of oil or butter
1 cup of gluten-free beef broth
1/2 cup of red wine (optional)

Instructions:

Lay out the beef rouladen slices on a clean surface. Season each slice with salt and pepper.

Spread a thin layer of gluten-free mustard onto each rouladen slice.

Place a slice of bacon on top of each rouladen slice.

Sprinkle chopped pickles and finely chopped onions evenly over the bacon slices.

Roll up each rouladen tightly, securing the ends with toothpicks or tying with kitchen twine.

In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat the oil or butter over medium-high heat.

Brown the rolled rouladen on all sides until they are nicely seared. Remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

In the same skillet, add the gluten-free beef broth and red wine (if using). Deglaze the skillet by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Return the browned rouladen to the skillet, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid.

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the rouladen simmer for about 1.5 to 2 hours, or until the beef is tender and cooked through.

Once the rouladen are done cooking, remove them from the skillet and keep them warm.

If desired, you can thicken the sauce by simmering it uncovered until it reaches your desired consistency.

Serve the gluten-free German rouladen with the sauce, along with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, red cabbage, or sauerkraut.
