Sauerbraten, Karl Ratzsch's Old World Restaurant Style image

This is marvelous! It is from a restaurant in Milwaukee and I clipped it from a 1978 issue of Family Circle and have been making it ever since. My family likes the flavor of a full five days of marinating, but it is milder and still delicious after only three or four days. Great with potato pancakes or spaetzle!
