Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C).

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat in a large frying pan, stir in 1 onion and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.

  3. Stir pork, ground beef, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper together in a bowl, stir in onion. Pour beaten eggs over meat mixture, mix with your hands until well combined.

  4. Spread about 1 1/2 tablespoons of meat mixture onto each beef slice, top each with one pickle quarter. Roll beef slices around filling, secure each roll with a toothpick.

  5. Heat 2 tablespoons butter in the same frying pan, place rolls into pan and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Remove rolls, place in a single layer in a roasting pan.

  6. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the same frying pan over medium heat, cook and stir remaining onion, celery, carrots, and garlic until vegetables are soft, about 10 minutes. Stir in 3 cups water, tomato paste, sherry, bouillon granules, and bay leaf, bring to a boil. Pour sauce over rolls in roasting pan.

  7. Bake in the preheated oven until tender, about 3 hours, remove from oven to turn rolls over halfway through the cooking time.

  8. Remove rolls to a heated platter. Place roasting pan with sauce on the stove, bring to a boil. Whisk cornstarch and 1/3 cup water together in a cup, slowly whisk cornstarch mixture into sauce until thickened, about 5 minutes. Drizzle some sauce over the rouladen, serve the remaining sauce in a gravy boat.

Recipe Note

The base of this recipe came from our area, the German community of a small town in Delhi, Ontario Canada. I've tweaked it a bit over time. My family loves this, and it's a good way to spend a cold afternoon. I serve this with whipped potatoes and a vegetable - tonight we had beets in Harvard sauce.
