What it is
Tender beef rolls, traditionally stuffed with bacon, pickles, and onions, slow-braised until fork-tender. Served with a rich, unthickened gravy (or natural pan drippings) and a side of green beans.
Key ingredients
Thin beef slices, bacon, pickles, onion, mustard, beef broth, red wine, green beans, butter.
If you order it anyway
Explicitly request gravy without flour or other thickeners, or ask for the meat plain with its natural pan juices. Omit potato dumplings (Knödel), Spätzle, and red cabbage (Rotkohl). Opt for green vegetables like green beans or broccoli.
If you order it anyway, say this (German)
Bitte keine Knödel, Spätzle oder Rotkohl. Kann ich grüne Gemüse haben? Die Soße brauche ich ohne Mehl; sonst nur das Fleisch mit dem Bratensaft.
No Knödel, Spätzle, or Rotkohl. Green vegetables please. Gravy without flour; otherwise, just the meat with natural pan juices.
Watch out for
Flour/starch in gravy, hidden sugars in pickles or mustard used in the filling, potato/dumpling sides, sugary red cabbage.
