This really turned out great. Only made this for two and have lots of sauce leftover. Served with green onion spaetzle. DH was later getting home so mine cooked about 2 hrs. Still so tender and nice.

While the recipe is a good one, rolmups (sp) is not an accurate name. Rollmops are pickled herring rolled up with onion and pickles. These (Rollmops) can be made either at home or can be store bought in a jar.

Five Star Recipe! Fun to make and very tasty. Maybe next time I will fry the bacon before I roll it up. And then use the bacon fat to saute` the steaks. We enjoyed ours with 'store bought' noodles. I can hardly wait to try the Spaetzle’s. Never had Spaetzle's!

Hi there! This was excellent! I reduced the recipe to accommodate 1lb of steak. It's just the two of us, and that was plenty. I served a herb noodle dish and buttered corn with this and also some leftover cornbread. Thank you for the very satisfying meal! :)
