Sauerbraten is a traditional German dish made from braised beef, usually served with potato dumplings and red cabbage. The classic version of sauerbraten takes several days to make, as the beef is marinated for a week or more in a mixture of vinegar, wine, and spices. However, there are also recipes for same-day sauerbraten that can be made in a matter of hours. These recipes typically use a simplified marinade and a shorter cooking time, making them ideal for busy weeknight meals. Whether you are a seasoned cook or a beginner, there is a same-day sauerbraten recipe out there to suit your needs.

SAME DAY SAUERBRATEN WITH MUSHROOM-PEPPER CROSTINI
Steps:
- Heal oil in a deep, heavy Dutch oven. Add the roast and brown all sides, turning as necessary. Remove roast from the pan, and stir the brown gravy mix into the drippings. Stir in 1/2 cup water and heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Add and stir in minced onion, brown sugar, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ginger, bay leaf and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Return meat to pan, turn to coat with gravy and simmer, covered, for 60 minutes or until beef is tender. Set aside while preparing mushroom-bell pepper crostini. Mushroom-Pepper Relish: Melt butter with oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until golden, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms and bell peppers; sauté until just tender, about 3 minutes. Add the olives, mustard and garlic, and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper. Lay baguette slices in a single layer in a 350-degree oven and toast until lightly browned and crisp. Spread with mushroom-bell pepper spread and serve warm or at toom temperature. Cut beef roast into slices, and serve over hot buttered egg noodles with mushroom-bell pepper crostini.
Tips:
- For a more authentic Sauerbraten, use a crock pot or Dutch oven to braise the meat. This will allow the flavors to develop more fully.
- If you don't have time to marinate the meat for 24 hours, you can marinate it for as little as 4 hours. However, the longer you marinate the meat, the more flavorful it will be.
- Use a good quality red wine for the marinade and braising liquid. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, will work well.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different spices and herbs in the marinade. Common additions include juniper berries, bay leaves, cloves, and peppercorns.
- Serve Sauerbraten with traditional German sides, such as potato dumplings, red cabbage, and spaetzle.
