Rinderroulade

[1] The dish is considered traditional also in the Upper Silesia region of Poland where it is known as rolada śląska (Silesian roulade; Silesian: Sylezyjsko ruleta) and in the Czech Republic where it is known as španělský ptáček (Spanish bird).

In Britain, the equivalent dish is widely referred to as beef olives.

The filling is a mixture of smoked fatback, chopped onions and chopped pickles (gherkins) which is at times varied by adding minced meat or sausage meat.

Rinderrouladen are usually served with either Kartoffelklösse or mashed potatoes and braised red cabbage.

Roasted winter vegetables are another common side dish.
