Sauerbraten Recipe
This is "sorta/kinda" my German mother-in-law's recipe. She called this one a "quick" sauerbraten. Quick or not, she came right on through with this one!

I was looking for a less complicated recipe than the one I have... thanks. This sounds like it should end up tasting similar but with less work!
