Yield Makes 12-15 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 pound rump of beef or rolled boned chuck
1 1/2 cups of red wine vinegar
1/2 cup red wine
1 1/2 cups water
1 bay leaf
5 peppercorns
3 whole cloves
2 tablespoons salt
2 onions, sliced
4 tablespoons shortening or oil
5 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 cup crushed gingersnaps

Steps:

  • It is best to have the meat in one solid piece, but if it is boned and rolled, make sure it has no added covering of suet. Combine the vinegar, wine, water and seasonings, pour this mixture over the meat. Add the sliced onions. Keep meat in the refrigerator, covered with marinade, for 1-3 days, turning occasionally. (Purists say it should be 3 days; I find 1 day sufficient.) Remove meat from marinade, wipe dry with paper towels and brown in the shortening over high heat, sprinkling with 1 tablespoon flour. Strain and add marinade, cover, lower heat and cook gently for 4-5 hours, until fork-tender. Remove meat and keep in warm place. Pour off the stock. In the same kettle, melt the butter, add the remaining flour and the sugar, stirring until smooth and browned. Slowly add the stock, cooking until smooth and thickened. Add the crushed gingersnaps, and cook until dissolved. Replace meat in the sauce and cook 1/2 hour longer. Meanwhile, cook noodles to serve with the sauerbraten. This dish tastes better the second day.

I've never had sauerbraten before, but this recipe was a great introduction. The meat was tender and the sauce was flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.

This sauerbraten recipe is a bit too sweet for my taste. I prefer a more tangy sauce. However, the meat was cooked perfectly.

This sauerbraten recipe is amazing! The meat is so tender and flavorful, and the sauce is rich and tangy. I served it with mashed potatoes and green beans, and it was a perfect meal.

I followed the recipe exactly and the sauerbraten turned out tough and dry. The sauce was also bland. I'm not sure what went wrong.
