Germany Rouladen (Meat Rolls)
Rouladen is an easy contender for one of Germany’s favorite dishes, and with a recipe that includes steak, pickles, and bacon, there is not much to dislike about the dish. These meat rolls make a hearty dish with complex but well-balanced salty, tart, and savory flavors that are perfectly complemented by a starchy side. While the long, slow cooking time might be a deterrent to some cooks, these rolls are very easy to make and definitely worth the investment. Recipe Servings: Serves 6
