Gerauchtem Rindfleisch Rouladen (Smoked Beef Rollups)
 

Well I thought I would do a twist on one of my favorite dishes. I gently pounded out a few wafer steaks. Normally the forcemeat is bacon, onions and pickles. I used left over chopped pork, onions, pickled cherry peppers and diced dill pickles.

I dusted the top of the beef with some of my homemade sweet jerk rub and placed a teaspoon of each of the forcemeat ingredients. Then I added a couple dashes of Garlic Cholula Sauce.

I rolled them up, pinned them, slathered them in a little Baconnaise and I then gave them a good dusting of my homemade butt rub.

Fired up the newest cooker in my arsenal.

Don't laugh. That lil' $0.99 grill is alot easier hauling up and down the stairs of my apartment. I seared and browned the rouladen on the grill.

Mixed the remainder of the onions, peppers and pickles with a little tomato paste and about 6 oz of beer. Placed every thing in a pie tin.

I threw on a piece of hickory on the coals and covered 'er up with the lid to one of my ECB's.

This contraption held a steady temp of about 210* for 1 1/2 hours.

Here they are all simmering away, standing tall and looking good!

I took about a cup of the braising mixture added some of the sour cream I made with the buttermilk leftover from the butter I made on Sunday. Ladled the sauce on the plate, placed the rouladen on the sauce and added an additional dollop of sour cream on top.

It really tasted very good. I had never smoked rouladen before and it really worked very well. However; next time I think I will stick to the more traditional recipe of bacon and sauteed onions and diced pickles. I just missed that good ol' combination of bacon and onions that you just can't get using smoked pork, no matter how good your smoked pork is.

Great improvisation. The food looks good too.

Killer diller.

Can somebody say:Cholula?

That is a great looking meal. I love those little grills! I've been known to drag one to the workplace for a little lunchtime tailgating... Nice Job!

Geeze, normally the thought of a dill pickle on or in anything is not my idea of good...but THIS...looks great!!!

I use the zest garlic dills. You can try it with bread and butter pickles too! But the sweet pickles are just too sweet.

Great job. I bought one of those at a gas station about 5 years ago to do some dogs at the beach. A friend of mine thought it was a dog water bowl lol.

I'll take one please!:cool:

Looks fantastic!

Gesundheit! :-D

You guys are posting so many things that i want to try that my cooking to-do-list is longer than the days that I have available to cook! The Rouladen look and sound great!

looks dee-lish!

Never thought to actually make anything with the buttermilk when I'm done making butter, I just drink it! =)
When you make your sour cream from the buttermilk do you just add a small amount of store bought sour cream for the culture or do you have another method?
