Bierrocks Or Meat And Cabbage Rolls Recipes

BIEROCKS (GERMAN MEAT TURNOVERS)

Steps:

• Saute beef, onion and garlic, salt and lemon pepper in a large skillet over medium high heat, until beef is browned. Add cabbage, Worcestershire sauce and caraway seeds. Cook until cabbage is limp; drain liquid from mixture.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• On a lightly floured board, roll each loaf of dough into a 12 inch circle. Cut each circle into 6 wedges. Spoon cabbage/beef filling onto center of each dough piece, dividing equally. Pull three points of each wedge up to the center and pinch to seal. Place bierocks on a lightly greased cookie sheet. If desired, brush dough with melted butter or egg wash (1 egg white with 2 tablespoons water).
• Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown. Serve hot, or wrap and freeze for heating later.

BIEROCKS (GERMAN STUFFED ROLLS)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, mix milk and sugar to dissolve the sugar. Sprinkle yeast over the milk mixture and let stand for 5-10 minutes, until the yeast softens and starts to foam.
• Whisk the mixture to combine and whisk in 2 c of flour.
• Add melted butter, egg, and salt. Whisk to incorporate.
• Stir in the remaining flour ¼ c at a time, using only as much as you need to get the dough to come together. Turn the dough onto your counter and knead, for 10-15 min, until a soft, smooth dough forms, adding flour as needed. (Your finished dough should be tacky, but not stick to your hand or your kneading surface.)
• Shape dough into a round; place it in a greased bowl, turning to coat the dough. Cover the dough loosely with plastic wrap or a damp towel and place in a warm, draft-free place to rise until doubled in bulk, about 1 hour.
• While the dough rises, make your filling. In a large non-stick frying pan, brown meat over medium-high until mostly cooked, 5-7 min.
• Drain as much of the grease from the pan as you can, while not losing the meat from the pan. Return the pan to the heat and add onions. Cook 2-3 min, until they begin to soften.
• Add cabbage and cook 7-10 minutes, until cabbage is tender.
• Remove filling from heat and season with salt and pepper.
• Knock back the risen dough and turn it onto your work surface.
• Divide dough into 8 balls (roughly 3 oz each). Flatten each ball to a circle 4-5" in diameter. (If the dough springs back, flatten as much as you can, cover, and let the dough rest for 3-5 min before attempting to flatten further.)
• Spoon 2 large tablespoons of filling onto the center of each circle, leaving the edges clear.
• Bring the edges together and pinch them to seal the dough completely. Continue until all the dough and filling has been used.
• Place the shaped bierocks on a greased baking sheet and let rise, covered 30-45 min, until roughly 1.5x their original size.
• During the last 10 minutes of rising time preheat your oven to 375F.
• Brush the bierocks lightly with milk and bake for 20-25 min, until golden brown and hollow sounding when tapped.
• Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.

MY GRANDMA'S SUPER EASY RECIPE FOR BIEROCKS

Steps:

• Sauté ground beef with sliced onion, minced garlic, smoked paprika, cayenne and cumin until browned and crumbly. About 10 minutes. Drain the excess fat and allow the meat to cool in the strainer for a few minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350F, shred the Gruyère and drain the sauerkraut.
• Gently mix together the ground beef mixture, shredded cheese and sauerkraut in a large bowl.
• Roll out each biscuit flat on a floured surface. Place 3 - 4 tablespoons of the filling in the center of each biscuit and fold up the sides like a steam bun to seal.
• Place uncooked bierocks, seam side down, split among two parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake for 17 - 19 minutes, or until golden. Allow the bierocks to cool on a wired baking rack for 2 - 3 minutes before consuming. Enjoy!

BIEROCKS (MEAT AND CABBAGE ROLLS)

Steps:

• 1. If using a roast, salt and pepper on both sides and brown. Add water to cover and braise on stove top until well cooked; set aside and cool. When cool, shred the beef and remove all fat. If using ground beef, brown it in a large skillet, breaking it up very fine. Pour off fat and allow the beef to cool.
• 2. In a large skillet, saute the onions and garlic in 4 Tbsp. butter until onion is almost golden brown. Add the shredded cabbage and cook until limp. Add salt, pepper, cayenne, and shredded beef (or browned ground beef) to the cabbage mixture and let stand until cool.
• 3. Put the bread loaves into 4 sections each and let rise. Roll out each section into an 8-inch square. Place 2 to 3 Tbsp. of filling onto the square and roll up, folding the sides in to form a tight seal. Set the Bierocks aside to rise again.
• 4. Place the bierocks on a baking sheet that has been sprayed with cooking oil and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown. If you like crusty bierocks, spray the rolls with water just as they begin to brown. This may be repeated during the browning process. Serve hot.

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a half sheet pan or large cookie sheet with parchment paper.
• Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces and form the pieces into balls.
• Press ball into a six inch round. Place a generous 1/3 cup of the filling in the middle and gather the edges of the dough together and press to seal. Place the filled dough, seam side down, on the parchment lined baking sheet and press down to flatten slightly.
• Bake the bierocks for 20 to 25 minutes until golden. Let them cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Brush with melted butter while still warm.

BIEROCKS (GERMAN HAMBURGER- AND CABBAGE-FILLED ROLLS)

Steps:

• FILLING: In a large frying pan, cook the cabbage and onion together until the cabbage is completely softened and golden.
• This process can be hastened by adding a half-cup of water (or so) and covering the pan, but eventually cook all the liquid off before proceeding.
• Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
• In a separate pan, brown the hamburger.
• Season with salt, pepper, and cayenne, if desired.
• Mix the cabbage/onion with the hamburger thoroughly.
• You may complete this part of the recipe in advance,refrigerating until needed, or just before you are ready to assemble the rolls.
• DOUGH: In a large mixing bowl combine 2 cups of the flour and the yeast.
• In a saucepan heat milk, sugar, butter and salt just till warm (115-120 degrees F) and butter is almost melted; stir constantly.
• Ad to flour mixture; add eggs.
• Beat at low speed for 1/2 minute, then three minutes at high speed.
• Stir in as much remaining flour as you can mix in with a spoon.
• Turn out onto a floured surface.
• Knead in enough remaining flour to make a moderately stiff dough that is smooth and elastic (6 to 8 minutes total).
• Shape into a ball, and place in a greased bowl; turn once.
• Cover and let rise in a warm place till double (about 1 hour).
• Punch down and cover; let rest 10 minutes.
• ASSEMBLY: Roll out the dough into a large rectangle, and a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
• Cut into squares of 3 inches by 3 or 4 inches by 4.
• By the spoonful, place some filling mixture into the center of each square, apportioning all of the mixture among the squares.
• For each, bring the two opposite corner ends of the dough square up to meet one another, then do the same with remaining ends and pinch them (all 4) together with your fingers.
• You will see that you now have open slits along the diagnals; pinch these together as well, making a seam of each.
• Water on your fingertips will facilitate them staying"glued" together.
• The end product should be a square with a seam running from each corner to the center where all four are joined.
• Set the squares on a baking sheet (if you had trouble keeping the seams closed, you can flip them over so that the seams are against the baking sheet, thereby keeping all the filling in place and making a nicer presentation).
• Let raise 30 minutes.
• Bake in a pre-heated oven at 375 °F for 30 minutes or until golden brown.
