| Beef Rouladen (Španielsky Vtáčik ) |
Beef Rouladen is another recipe I grew up with and eventually started making my version for my family.
Beef Rouladen is called in Slovakia Španielsky Vtáčik (translation - Spanish Bird - not sure why).It is one of those recipes that your mom or grandma makes for special occasions or Sunday lunch.
Main meal growing up in Slovakia always was lunch and Sunday lunch was a family affair.
Beef Rouladen is usually made from higher quality thin sliced steak. It can get pretty pricey to make it.
Since my family loves this dish I had to find a way to make it for them cheaper. I was not willing to pay $12.00 per pound for the thin sliced steak.
I decided to try it with cheaper cuts like flank, skirt or rib steak. Now I use $3.00 per pound Carne Asada thin sliced steaks. The only difference is that I need to braise it little bit longer.
I usually make double so we can have leftovers the next day.
