About the dish

Zrazy wołowe zawijane is a traditional beef roulade consisting of thin beef slices which are wrapped around a filling, and then browned and braised. Although the method of preparation and the filling may vary, the beef slices are usually smeared with mustard and stuffed with bacon, pickles, and onions. Other variants of the dish call for stuffing the beef with sauerkraut, horseradish, breadcrumbs, or herbs, while an old variant of the dish calls for a filling of wild mushrooms and cream. Beef roulades are usually drizzled with the cooking sauce and can be served with a variety of accompaniments, including boiled rice, potatoes, beet salad, cabbage, buckwheat or barley kasha, Polish potato dumplings, or sour cream. Once eaten as a pre-hunting breakfast, this meat specialty is nowadays typically consumed as a main course, usually served for dinner. Reserved only for the Polish nobility in the past, nowadays, meat roulades can be found in almost all Polish restaurants across the country.
