Sauerbraten is a classic German dish that is typically made with beef, but can also be made with venison or pork. The meat is marinated in a flavorful mixture of red wine, vinegar, herbs, and spices for several days, then braised until tender. The result is a rich, flavorful dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
This article features three different recipes for sauerbraten: a traditional German recipe, a simplified version that uses a slow cooker, and a venison sauerbraten recipe. Each recipe includes step-by-step instructions and a list of ingredients, so you can easily make this delicious dish at home.
The traditional German sauerbraten recipe uses a combination of red wine, vinegar, herbs, and spices to create a flavorful marinade. The meat is marinated for several days, then braised in the marinade until tender. This recipe is a bit time-consuming, but the results are worth it.
The simplified slow cooker sauerbraten recipe is a great option for busy weeknights. The meat is marinated in a mixture of red wine, vinegar, and spices, then cooked in a slow cooker on low for 8-10 hours. This recipe is just as flavorful as the traditional version, but it's much easier to make.
The venison sauerbraten recipe is a great way to use venison if you're a hunter. The venison is marinated in a mixture of red wine, vinegar, and spices, then braised until tender. This recipe is a bit gamier than the beef or pork sauerbraten recipes, but it's still very delicious.
No matter which recipe you choose, you're sure to enjoy this classic German dish. Serve it with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or your favorite side dish.

ROUND STEAK SAUERBRATEN
This isn't traditional Sauerbraten, but a great, easy substitute using round steak. My mom made this dish when I was a kid. I started making it when my kids were young, and we all love it!! Try serving over buttered noodles. If your crew is really hungry, then double the recipe. The single recipe is never enough for my family of four.

ROUND STEAK SAUERBRATEN
I happened upon a BOGO for bottom round steaks and had absolutely no idea what to do with them. The first package was basically a disaster not knowing that this cut needed more than just a marinade. So, after doing a bit of research on the cut, I found I could adapt this to a dish much like Mom used to make. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of meat. Round steak is a good choice because it is a tough cut that will become tender when cooked slowly in a braising liquid.
- Marinate the meat. Marinating the meat in a mixture of red wine, vinegar, and spices will help to tenderize it and add flavor.
- Sear the meat. Searing the meat before braising it will help to brown it and add flavor.
- Use a good braising liquid. The braising liquid should be flavorful and acidic. A good option is a mixture of red wine, vinegar, beef broth, and spices.
- Cook the meat slowly. The meat should be cooked slowly over low heat until it is fall-apart tender. This can take several hours.
Conclusion:
Sauerbraten is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. It is a bit of a time commitment, but it is well worth the effort. The meat is fall-apart tender and the sauce is rich and flavorful. Serve sauerbraten with mashed potatoes, spaetzle, or egg noodles.
