Sauerbraten Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Greekgirrrl / All my dishes 5 months ago Plan ahead if you want to have Sauerbraten. It takes 2-3 days to properly marinate. I love it with creamed potatoes or spaetzle, a German egg noodle. Greeks love German food and vice versa. I got this recipe from my Tante Marianna. Prep:3m Cook:240m Servings:8	Greekgirrrl

Ingredients

4 lb Beef Rump Or Sirloin Tip

1 1/2 c vinegar

1 c dry red wine

3/4 c Water

3 medium onions, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

2 carrots, sliced

10 whole peppercorns

10 whole cloves

3 bay leaves

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 teaspoons salt

flour

3 tablespoons oil

Gravy:

3 c drippings plus strained marinade

5 tablespoons flour

5 tablespoons ginger snap crumbs

Directions

Place meat in a large plastic bag.

In a large bowl, thoroughly combine vinegar, wine, water, onions, celery, carrots, pepper, cloves, bay leaves, sugar and salt; pour over meat.

Fasten bag tightly and lay flat in a 9" X 13" pan.

Refrigerate 2-3 days, turning bag each day. (If you like sour sauerbraten, let marinate for 4 days.)

When ready to cook, remove meat (saving marinade) and dry well. Rub the surface lightly with flour.

In a Dutch oven, heat oil and slowly brown the meat well on all sides.

Add 1 cup of the marinade liquid plus some of the vegetables and bay leaves.

Cover tightly and simmer on surface heat or in a preheated 350° F oven for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is fork tender.

If needed, add more marinade during the cooking time to keep at least 1/2 inch liquid in the Dutch oven.

Remove the meat and keep warm until ready to slice.

Into a large measuring cup, strain the drippings.

Add several ice cubes and let stand for a few minutes until the fat separates out.

Remove the fat, then make the gravy.

TO MAKE THE GRAVY:

In the Dutch oven, combine the gravy ingredients, stir and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat until gravy has thickened.

Taste for seasonings and adjust if necessary.

This makes about 3 cups of gravy.
