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.

So wird zuerst die Beize hergestellt in dieser ruht der Braten (bei uns mindestens 7 Tage), dann wird er angebraten und die Soße zubereitet, das Schmoren macht er von alleine. Wir haben unseren Rheinischen Sauerbraten sehr genossen und allen hat es hervorragend geschmeckt.
