Yeah, it's pretty loose. I'm going to intersperse my comments. We'll see how that works.
I've always used round.
Never pounded it, and I think I'm too lazy to try it. That's about the thickness we use.
Sometimes the supermarket sells "sandwich steaks", which are round steak obout the size you mentioned. Otherwise, I just grab a big round steak out of the meat case and the butcher slices it for us. They are top round, but often labeled as "London Broil".
These make big rouladen. Each piece of meat is about 5" by 10".
My father does this, but I find the pickle (and maybe the stock) has enough salt. My wife hates pepper, so I add it to my serving at the table.
Had this once. My wife hates mustard also.
My father does this. My brother sometimes adds a slice to the outside of *some* of the rolls, so you can choose "with" or "without". My wife and I, and my aunt, don't use bacon.
Never used chopped. Onions don't cut very well for making rolls, so maybe I'll try this next time.
Never tried the whole. I vary the size of the pickle spear based on the size of the meat.
Sometimes we put carrot inside also.
My aunt does the string thing, and my brother has started to. We always use toothpicks, which makes it harder to brown but is quick and easy.
Never done this, but don't know why. This is a very good tip.
We use vegetable oil.
Teflon cooking is dangerousHi, I am new to this group. I want as many people as possible to know that I was contagioned by Teflon. I've never trusted it, and when...
They do need to be cooked in a single layer, which often means two batches. However, we just toss the leftover onion (chopped) in with the rolls when they are mostly browned..
REC: Broccoli CbutteroleAfter looking at the jabs at Tommy Tango's recipes, I remembered a Tommy Tango-type recipe of my own...
We sometimes just use water instead of stock. Also, red wine is almost required. A bay leaf is good at this point also.
I like three hours. Throw some carrots in the last hour. The rolls shrink, so there's usually room by then.
Mashed potatoes. And homemade crescent rolls. Break open the crescent rolls and dip them into the gravy on your plate.
I find that the dill is also fairly strong.
My mouth is watering.
We had these most holidays when I was a kid. My mother and aunt were both German.
