Just made my once a year "Octoberfest" Rouladen tonight! A great recipe that sounds curious to people. I am not a great fan of pickles but the flavor from them is really good. I use regular yellow mustard and the quartered pickle slice,chopped onions and 1/2 piece of bacon. Also just salt and pepper for seasoning. A good hint to use twine (I have always used toothpicks). I brown the rolls and then add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water and 2 teaspoons of beef boullion. Put the pan in the oven covered at 200* for a long time!! Today it was 6 hours but some times it is for 3 1/2 hours. When ready to eat make a quick gravy with flour and add more water to the pan then bring to a boil. Serve with mashed potatoes. I have loved this recipe for almost 30 years!

Janet...great idea! I only used one pickle slice per piece of meat but used venison so the steaks were smaller. Used kitchen twine instead of toothpicks which kept the smaller pieces together better. Extremely tasty for a low prep time meal. Used the cooking time to make a nice salad and mashed potatoes.

I ate this in a German restuarant and thought how strange but it tasted wonderful. I am glad to have a recipe for it. I used thin round steak, pounded thin.
