Description

These game meat rolls are a real festive dish! I especially like to make them in autumn and winter when game season is. The red deer topside is beaten paper-thin, filled with mustard, ham, gherkins and onions and then braised in a strong dark beer sauce. The result is an incredibly tender and aromatic dish that melts in your mouth. The preparation takes a little time, but the effort is definitely worth it! It goes well with dumplings or spaetzle and red cabbage. An absolute highlight for special occasions!

About this recipe

Game meat rolls in dark beer sauce are a piece of culinary childhood for me. My grandma always made them for Christmas or special family celebrations. The smell of game, spices and dark beer that wafted through the house is one of my fondest memories. This recipe is my homage to her, slightly adapted for the modern kitchen with the Thermomix®, but with the same hearty taste that thrilled me as a child. The red deer topside is the heart of this dish. It should be of good quality, preferably from a hunter you trust or a butcher who knows game. Thinning out the topside is crucial to make the rolls tender and allow the flavors to infuse well. The game ham brings a smoky note to the filling, the gherkins provide a pleasant acidity and the onions a slight spiciness. The medium-hot mustard combines the flavors and gives the filling an extra spice. The Thermomix® makes preparation much easier. Chopping the vegetables is quick and even. Make sure not to chop the root vegetables too finely, otherwise they will disintegrate too much during braising. Sautéing in the Thermomix® provides a good base for the sauce. The browning of the rolls themselves takes place in the pan, as this ensures a beautiful roasted aroma that cannot be achieved in the Thermomix® in this way. When braising in the Thermomix®, it is important to adhere exactly to the temperature and time so that the meat becomes tender but does not fall apart. Passing the sauce at the end is an important step to achieve a fine and velvety consistency. For a vegetarian version, you could prepare stuffed cabbage rolls with a filling of rice, lentils, mushrooms and herbs instead of game meat rolls and braise them in the dark beer sauce. A strong vegetable stock can be used instead of game stock. You can also experiment with other spices such as juniper berries, bay leaves or thyme to give the sauce an individual touch. Serve the game meat rolls classically with potato dumplings or spaetzle and red cabbage. Cranberries or applesauce also go perfectly with it. A dry red wine, preferably a Pinot Noir, perfectly rounds off the dish. The finished rolls can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day. They taste even better when they have been infused a little. The sauce can also be frozen separately. For stress-free preparation, you can prepare the rolls the day before and store them in the refrigerator. This will give you less work on the festive day itself.
