SAUERBRATEN! One of THE best GERMAN meals.
Traditional German SAUERBRATEN with mouth-watering gravy, Spätzle and a side - everyone should eat it at least once. Traditionally, Sauerbraten is made with beef roasts, however, any roast will be good, so it's really up to personal meat preference and availability.
How to make Spaetzle:
Use a 1:4 vinegar to water ratio for the brine. Wine can be substituted for the vinegar or a mix of vinegar/wine. If you like it on the sour side, increase the vinegar. Brine your meat at least 2 days or up to a week.
The Sauerbraten can be pressure cooked, but I like it best slow cooked, either in a slow cooker or stove top on low.
Serve with Spaetzle, egg noodls or dumplings and a side.
ENJOY!
Sour Beef and Potato Dumplings
This is a German dish and very different from just an ordinary pot roast! It has a sweet, tart flavor and is very good!! You really have to like vinegar to like this dish. If you want something different, give it a try!! #german#sourbeef#potatodumplings
RECIPE
Ingredients
Sour Beef
• 1 (5 pound) boneless chuck roast
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 large onions (thick slices)
• 1 quart Majestic or Heinz dark vinegar
• 1 quart water (just use the empty vinegar bottle)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 can pickling spice
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 3/4 box ginger snaps
Potato Dumplings
• 3 pounds potatoes
• 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine or butter
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 eggs
Instructions
1. Night Before: Mix in bowl all Sour Beef ingredients and cover (DO NOT REFRIGERATE).
2. Next Day: Take meat out of bowl and put in large pot, then brown it on both sides. Take all ingredients and juices and pour back over meat. Put cover over it and let simmer about 2 hours.
3. Take meat out and strain gravy essence and place the strained gravy essence back in large pot.
4. Making Gravy: Put 2 tablespoons flour in frying pan and keep stirring until it gets light brown. After it browns add the flour gravy to the gravy essence in large pot. Crush cookies and let them dissolve in the gravy. Let simmer 20 minutes. Place meat back in large pot with gravy. Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes and turn off.
5. Potato Dumplings: Boil potatoes with 1/2 teaspoon salt (about 20 minutes or until fork goes in easy). After potatoes are done, mash the potatoes and add butter. Then let potatoes cool. Add eggs one at a time and beat. Add pepper. (Gradually add flour enough to keep the ball together without it falling apart) roll in hand. Boil water with salt. After the water has started to boil, add dumplings one at a time. Boil uncovered for 6 to 8 minutes. When dumplings rise to the top they are done. You may want to take dumplings out as each one rises to the top depending on how many you have in pot.
6. When everything is done. Place meat on a plate and cut up (usually you can pull apart with a fork, it's so tender). Put gravy in bowl. Put dumplings into bowl.
