TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN (GERMAN SWEET & SOUR BEEF ROAST)
This traditional German favorite may be the best roast beef you've ever had! While not fast, the flavors explode!
SAUERBRATEN
Ingredients
2 large yellow onions, chopped
2 large carrots, diced
1 large leek, chopped or 2 spring onions
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large sprigs thyme
2 small sprigs rosemary
2 bay leaves
8 juniper berries, cracked (or 2 sprigs rosemary)
6 whole cloves
10 whole black peppercorns, cracked
2 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
2 1/2 cups red wine
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
4 pounds beef rump roast
4 slices bacon, finely diced (optional)
4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 cup raisins
3 ounces ginger snap cookies, crumbled
1 tablespoon honey
Instructions
Prepare the Marinade: Place all of the veggies and herbs in a heavy stock pot or Dutch oven along with the garlic, juniper berries, whole cloves, bay leaves, salt, sugar and peppercorns. Add the red wine, red wine vinegar and water.
Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let the mixture cool down completely. Marinate the Meat: Nestle the roast in the vegetable marinade and place the lid on the pot. Let it marinate in the fridge for at least 4 days, preferably 7. Unless the meat is completely submerged under the liquid, turn the roast over once every day.
Remove the roast, pat it dry with paper towels, and strain the liquid from the vegetables. Reserve the liquid and the vegetables.
Cook the Roast: Rinse the pot out and heat a tablespoon or two of oil in it over high heat. Generously brown the roast on all sides. Remove the roast and set aside. If using bacon, cook the bacon until done. Leave about 2 tablespoons of oil/fat in the pot. Place the strained vegetables in the pot (with the bacon if using) and cook for 5-7 minutes. Stir in the flour, cooking the mixture for a minute or two to eliminate the flour flavor. Add the liquid that you strained from the vegetable marinade, bring it to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent lumps.
Add the raisins, honey and crushed ginger snaps. Return the roast to the pot.
Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer for about 2 hours (may need longer) or until the meat is very tender.
When the roast is done, let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Prepare the Gravy: While the roast is resting, strain the gravy and return the gravy to the pot. Taste and more sugar, salt and pepper as desired. (Note: The balance of sour to sweet is a matter of personal taste - If the flavor is too strong for you, you can dilute it with a little water or broth.)
Spoon the gravy over the sliced Sauerbraten and serve immediately.

Traditional German Sauerbraten Recipe
German Sauerbraten is such a treasured recipe from the southern part of Germany. Originally hailing from North Rhine-Westphalia region it’s found it’s way throughout Germany and different versions adapted to fit the tastes of each region.
Since I’m married to a very Swabian (Southern) German and living there my tastebuds are accustomed to the sweet and sour version. I’m
So excited to share this traditional recipe with you! Even Tobi may have had tears in his eyes when he started to eat and said, “It taste just like at Omi’s house.” ????????????
1 cup Dry Red Wine
1 cup Red Wine Vinegar
2 cups Water
4 Bay Leaves
4 Cloves
1 tsp Whole Peppercorns
1 whole Sliced Onion
Optional: 8 juniper berries, 4 allspice seeds
1 Apple Stewed (Apple juice, cinnamon, nutmeg to a boil)
2lb Top Rump Roast or Brisket
Salt and Pepper
Butter
Soup Vegetables Diced( 2 carrots, 2 celery stalks, 1 onion, parsley & Oregano)
1-2 cups Beef broth
Generous cup of Gingersnap cookies or Lebkuchen or gingerbread. NOTE: for the northern Germany style omit the sweeter cookies and just add two tablespoons cornstarch.
I hope you enjoy this piece of traditional goodness! Food is love! Guten Appetit!

***RECIPE***
a lean, tough beef roast (bottom round is classic, figure .5 lb / 227g per person)
red wine vinegar (a lot, I used a whole bottle)
red wine
stock, water, etc.
honey or other sugar
onions, carrots, celery, leeks, garlic, whatever aromatics you've got, etc.
parsley or other fresh herb for garnish
potatoes (I'd figure one large baking potato per two people)
potato starch (cornstarch or AP flour would work instead)
egg (I only needed one for four big portions of dumplings)
ginger snaps or similar spice cookies (I needed like half a package, it's a lot)
spices (a few juniper berries and cloves are key to me)
Roughly cut up your aromatics — they're getting strained out in the end, so don't be precious about it. Throw them in a pot along with some spices and add vinegar and red wine — I like a about 1 part vinegar to two parts wine to two parts stock/water, but don't add the stock/water yet. Plan such that you'll have just enough liquid to cover the roast at the end.
Bring this liquid to a boil then kill the heat. Stir in salt to taste, and maybe stir in a little honey or other sugar. Now is when you can add your stock/water to help cool things down — I like to throw in ice cubes.
When the liquid is cool and you have enough to submerge your raw roast, submerge your raw roast and marinate in the fridge for 2 to 7 days — make sure to do this in a ceramic or plastic vessel rather than a metal one, as the acid could leech out metal ions.
Take the roast out and dry it on paper towels. Heat a film of oil in a different pan and brown the roast on all sides. When the roast is brown, return it to the marinade. Either deglaze the pan water and add that liquid to the marinade, or brown a little starch/flour in the accumulated fat to make a roux then deglaze with water and add to the marinade.
Simmer the roast in the marinade, covered, until tender as you want it — I gave mine four hours and wished I had pulled it at three. You can simmer on the stovetop or in the oven — I did the oven at 300ºF/150ºC, because that allowed me to bake my whole potatoes at the same time, which took almost three hours at that relatively low temperature.
When the potatoes are squishably soft, take them out, cut them open and let them steam out. When they're cool enough to handle, scoop out all the potato flesh and discard the skins. Break up any big pieces of potato and then season them to taste with salt and other spices — nutmeg would be traditional but I did garlic powder and onion powder and it was really good.
Into the potatoes, mix beaten egg and starch/flour for binding until you get a dough that will hold the shape of a ball — mix as little as possible and use as little starch/flour as possible or the dumplings will come out rubbery. Form roughly golf-sized balls and boil in a big pot of salted water until they float — about 10 minutes. Drain, and then you can toss these in a little melted butter or oil and just hold them covered until dinner is ready. Reheat if necessary.
When the roast is soft as you want it, take it out to rest, bring the marinade back up to a boil and reduce about by half. Thicken the gravy with ginger cookies — they'll dissolve faster if you pulverize them first, but you can also just throw them in whole. When the gravy is thick as you want, strain it and discard the solids. Season to taste — it should be strongly sweet and sour and salty and meaty.
Slice the roast, serve with potato balls, drench everything in gravy and top with chopped parsley or some such. Maybe have a salad too?
