![]() I am always looking for new things to do with beef. I make a killer pot roast with gravy, but I wanted to change things up a bit. Since my husband loves German foods, I immediately thought of Sauerbraten. I have made this several times, since my ex-husband is a redneck..oops...I mean avid hunter, and would like me to prepare deer roasts in this manner. (Poor Bambi! No, I don't eat game. No offense to those of you who do! ) So I thought I would surprise Dan with this German dish using real beef, since we don't do the whole hunting thing here. Making Sauerbraten is a process...It takes a few days. The meat must be marinated in a vinegar based mixture for 2-3 days, which allows the meat to become super-tender and get that great, sour flavor that the dish is named for. Imagine the most tender, delicious pot roast but with an unexpected yet savory tang...That, my friends, is what you get with Sauerbraten! Needless to say, Dan was ecstatic and absolutely loved this meal. I served the Sauerbraten with red-skin mashed potatoes and glazed baby carrots. It was fantastic! Of course you can go full on German and serve pickled red cabbage, sauerkraut, beets, or boiled potatoes with it as well. Want the recipe? Keep reading! German Sauerbraten Recipe : Ingredients:

Did you really use 1 Tbsp pepper as the recipe stated? Seems like a lot.

When using black pepper in a vinegar based marinade use cracked black pepper and 1 T is about right The subs. that I prefer ; use a cube roast like Rump, brown sugar. and a good sized onion sliced in the marinade, and one diced fine in the in the cooking broth. I also like cider vinegar ( not cider flavored) the real stuff. DO NOT LEAVE OFF THE GINGER SNAP GRAVY.

I started the marinating yesterday, do you really use 1 Tbsp of pepper? Seems excessive, I'm nervous!

Yes, I really use that much pepper. You could always adjust, but it doesn't end up being super-strong. (I like pepper, though!)

So the stock would be the water part of the marinade... Since there is no water amount listed in the ingredients .. but in my mind o feel that is what they ment in the directions

What a winner!!! I made mine with no salt and used salt substitute from trader Joe. It tasted just fine. Substituted chicken for beef broth. I browned the meat before I braised it in the marinade. Deglazed the pan with some wine and threw that in. Once j strained the marinade I couldn't bare not using all those onion chunks, so I puréed them and out them back in the gravy. Lastly, to give the gravy some sheen, I whisked in a knob of butter. Wunderbar!!!

I've made a similar recipe before. Tbis was easier, and the result was amazing. Served with potato pancakes, sweet and sour beets in addition to carrots that i cooked with the beef. Added a little honey to the carrots when serving. Even my 10y/o grandson had no complaints. Waiting for the apple strudel to come out of the oven. Happy October fest.
