This is the sauerbraten I grew up with at my grandma's, my absolute favourite dish ever. We usually had it with potato dumplings and red cabbage. Preparation time does not include marinating time!!

I tried this recipe and it was a disaster. The meat was dry and the sauce was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

This recipe was not as good as I had hoped. The meat was a bit tough and the sauce was too sweet. I will not be making this again.
