About
Great steak dishes come in all shapes and sizes. This cannot be truer than with Beefy German Rouladen! These rolled-up steaks are literally stuffed with tangy mustard and succulent bacon! How can you get better than that? Oh right... by pan-searing them, then braising them to ensure they are extra-tender, and finally serving them with a creamy beef sauce. Beefy German Rouladen absolutely check all the flavor boxes!
