TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN

I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.

Tips:

  • To tenderize the beef, marinate it for at least 12 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  • Be sure to brown the beef well in the Dutch oven before adding the marinade and water. This will help to develop flavor and color.
