Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds Beef round steak
  • 6 slices Bacon
  • 1 medium Onion
  • 4 medium Pickles
  • 2 tablespoons Mustard
  • 2 cups Beef broth
  • 1 large head Cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Take the 1.5 pounds of beef round steak and slice it into 6 thin cutlets. Pound each cutlet evenly to approximately 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) thickness.
  2. 2Spread the 2 tablespoons of mustard evenly over one side of each beef cutlet. Place one of the 6 slices of bacon on each cutlet, then distribute thin slices from the 1 medium onion and two quarters from the 4 medium pickles over the bacon.
  3. 3Tightly roll up each beef cutlet and secure it with a toothpick or kitchen twine to prevent unrolling during cooking. Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven (at least 5-quart / 4.7-liter capacity) over medium-high heat (approximately 350-375°F / 175-190°C).
  4. 4Carefully place the assembled rouladen into the hot oil and brown them on all sides for 2-3 minutes per side, until a deep golden-brown crust forms. Pour the 2 cups of beef broth into the pot, bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly with a lid, and cook for 1.5 hours (90 minutes). The beef should be very tender when pierced with a fork, and the internal temperature should reach 160°F (71°C).
  5. 5While the rouladen are simmering, cut the 1 large head of cauliflower into florets. Place the cauliflower florets in a large pot, cover with water, and bring to a boil over high heat (212°F / 100°C) for 10-15 minutes, or until the cauliflower is very tender and easily pierced with a fork.
  6. 6Carefully drain the cooked cauliflower florets completely and return them to the pot. Mash the cauliflower thoroughly using a potato masher or fork, then stir in the 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper until the mash is smooth and creamy.
  7. 7Carefully remove the toothpicks or kitchen twine from the rouladen before serving. Serve the Keto German Beef Rouladen immediately with the creamy cauliflower mash, spooning the rich gravy from the pot over both.
