To get started with this particular recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have german rouladen using 14 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.

The ingredients needed to make German Rouladen:

1. Take 6 slices sirloin tip, flank, or top round steak, thin cut, pounded thin

14. Get 2 tbsp flour

Instructions to make German Rouladen:

1. Ask the butcher for beef, sliced thin for Rouladen or beef rolls. The slices should be slightly less than 1/4”. Place the meat slice on a cutting board. Using a flat meat mallet (or the bottom end of a wine bottle!), gently pound the meat thinner without tearing the meat. Repeat with the other meat slices.
2. Lay out the prepared onions, pickles, and bacon. I like to chop the pickles so there will be an even amount through the entire roll and you don't come up short on the ends using one pickle spear.
3. Place one meat slice on the cutting board flat. Place a dab of mustard on the meat (off center) and smooth out. Cover 1/3 of the meat.
4. Place 2 slices of bacon in the mustard area so they don’t extend beyond the edge of the meat. Add to this, a palm full of the pickles (or 1 large spear) and a palm full of onion slices.
5. Wrap this up, starting with the meat filling end, and tucking the sides in as you go. Tie the roll off in the center with kitchen twine (preferred) or use a toothpick. Repeat this for the other 5 rolls. Season them all lightly with salt & pepper.
6. [Heat oven to 350 degrees]
7. Place an oven-proof pan with lid (or pot) on the stove and raise the heat to medium high. Add 2 remaining slices of bacon and oil. Heat for 2 minutes. Place all the beef rolls in the pan. If they don't all fit at once, do this in two steps. Sear for 1-2 minutes. Flip them over and sear for another 1-2 minutes.
8. Add the broth, but do not cover the rolls completely. Add the vegetables and thyme to the pan and cover. Place in heated oven and cook for 90 minutes.
9. After the meat is fork tender, remove them from the pan and place in a large bowl. Remove the strings or toothpicks from the rolls.
10. Strain the stock into a sauce pan and bring to a slight boil. Turn off heat. With the original oven pot on another burner, melt two tablespoons of butter over low-medium heat. Add the flour and mix with a spoon. Heat and continue to stir until it turns light brown to make a “roux.”
11. Add the heated stock to the roux and whisk until it’s smooth and begins to thicken. Return the Rouladen to the finished gravy pot and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Serve with egg noodles (Spaetzle) or mashed potatoes.

Turn to Food to Boost Your Mood

For the most part, people have been conditioned to think that “comfort” foods are bad for the body and must be avoided. If your comfort food is candy or junk food this is true. Other times, though, comfort foods can be altogether nourishing and it’s good for you to consume them. There are a number of foods that, when you eat them, can better your mood. If you seem to feel a little bit down and you’re in need of a happiness pick me up, try a few of these.

Eggs, believe it or not, can be actually wonderful at dealing with depression. You must be sure, however, that what you make includes the yolk. When you would like to cheer yourself up, the egg yolk is the most crucial part of the egg. Eggs, the yolks especially, are rich in B vitamins. B vitamins can actually help you boost your mood. This is because these vitamins improve the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that dictate how you feel). Try eating a couple of eggs to feel better!

Put together a trail mixout of various seeds and nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, etc are all great for elevating your mood. This is because these nuts are high in magnesium, which helps to boost serotonin levels. Serotonin is a feel-good chemical substance that directs the brain how to feel at any given time. The more serotonin you have, the happier you will feel. Not just that but nuts, particularly, are a terrific source of protein.

Cold water fish are great if you would like to feel better. Salmon, herring, tuna fish, mackerel, trout, and so on, they’re all loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and DHA. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.

It’s not difficult to overcome your bad mood when you consume grains. Quinoa, millet, teff and barley are all really wonderful for helping boost your happiness levels. These foods fill you up better and that can help you with your moods as well. Feeling starved can really make you feel terrible! The reason these grains help your mood so much is that they are easy to digest. They are simpler to digest than other foods which helps kick up your blood sugar levels and that, in turn, improves your mood.

Your mood could actually be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be included in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid known as L-theanine. Studies have found that this amino acid basically induces brain waves. This helps better your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You probably already knew it is not hard to get healthy when you drink green tea. Now you know that applies to your mood as well!

Now you know that junk food isn’t necessarily what you have to eat when you want to help your moods get better. Try a few of these tips instead.
