Ingredients

  • 4 pounds beef roast
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 10 whole cloves
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch (optional, for thickening)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the red wine vinegar, water, sliced onion, bay leaves, cloves, sugar, and black peppercorns. Mix well.
  2. Add the beef roast to the marinade, ensuring it is submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 3 to 5 days, turning the roast occasionally for even marination.
  3. Once marinated, remove the roast from the marinade and pat it dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade for later.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sear the roast on all sides until nicely browned.
  5. After browning, pour in the reserved marinade and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then cover and cook on low heat for 3 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender.
  6. Once done, remove the roast and let it rest for about 15 minutes before slicing.
  7. If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix the cornstarch with a little water to create a slurry. Stir this into the cooking liquid and simmer until it thickens.
  8. Serve the Sauerbraten slices with gravy, alongside your favorite sides, like red cabbage and dumplings. Enjoy!

This Sauerbraten is perfect for a family gathering or a special dinner. The marination process might take some time, but the result is a wonderfully succulent roast that’s bursting with flavor. Try it out, and let your taste buds experience a bit of Germany right in your kitchen!
