Delicious Sauerbraten dish served with traditional sides

Ingredients:

  • 4 pounds beef roast (chuck or round)
  • 1 cup white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 large onion, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the vinegar, water, sliced onion, garlic, sugar, mustard, peppercorns, salt, thyme, and bay leaf. Stir well.
  2. Add the beef roast to the marinade, ensuring it is fully submerged. Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 days, turning occasionally to marinate evenly.
  3. After marinating, remove the roast from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later.
  4. In a large Dutch oven, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until browned. Remove the roast and set aside.
  5. In the same pot, add the reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot for extra flavor.
  6. Return the roast to the pot and add the beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 3 hours, or until the meat is fork-tender.
  7. If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the roast once it’s done and whisk in cornstarch mixed with a little water. Bring to a boil until thickened.
  8. Serve slices of the sauerbraten with the rich gravy over mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or your favorite side dishes. Enjoy!
