Time P3DT4h50m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar
1 cup red wine vinegar
1 medium onion, chopped
1 large carrot, chopped
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon kosher salt, additional for seasoning meat
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 bay leaves
6 whole cloves
12 juniper berries
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 (3 1/2 to 4-pound) bottom round
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/3 cup sugar
18 dark old-fashioned gingersnaps (about 5 ounces), crushed
1/2 cup seedless raisins, optional

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan over high heat combine the water, cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, bay leaves, cloves, juniper, and mustard seeds. Cover and bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Pat the bottom round dry and rub with vegetable oil and salt on all sides. Heat a large saute pan over high heat; add the meat and brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
  • When the marinade has cooled to a point where you can stick your finger in it and not be burned, place the meat in a non-reactive vessel and pour over the marinade. Place into the refrigerator for 3 days. If the meat is not completely submerged in the liquid, turn it over once a day.
  • After 3 days of marinating, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.

  • Remove the meat from the vessel and keep warm. Strain the liquid to remove the solids. Return the liquid to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Whisk in the gingersnaps and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Add the raisins if desired. Slice the meat and serve with the sauce.

The best complement to this traditional German pot-roast dish is Perfect Mashed Potatoes.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Beef Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 four- to five-pound top or bottom round of beef
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 tablespoons canola oil
4 cloves garlic, coarsely chopped
2 large onions, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
4 tablespoons tomato paste
1/4 cup ketchup
1 cup red-wine vinegar
2 cups red wine, such as burgundy
1/4 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • Season beef well with salt and pepper. Tie meat tightly every 2 inches with kitchen twine, and once from end to end, to help keep meat intact. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large, heavy casserole over medium heat. Brown meat evenly on all sides, including the ends. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
  • Reduce heat to medium low, add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, garlic, and onions. Cook, stirring often, until softened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add bay leaves, tomato paste, ketchup, red-wine vinegar, and red wine. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Return beef to pot, and add 2 cups water. (The liquid should come halfway up the side of the beef.) Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Reduce heat to simmer. Cook for 1 hour, turn beef, and continue to cook until fork-tender, another 1 1/2 hours.
  • Remove pot from heat. Let cool slightly, and transfer beef to a cutting board with a well. Remove twine, and let beef rest for 15 minutes. Skim the fat from the surface of the sauce in the casserole. Taste the sauce, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir in sour cream. Slice meat across the grain into 1/4-inch slices. Place meat back into sauce. Transfer to a large serving platter; ladle over sauce. Serve immediately.

BEST EVER SAUERBRATEN



Best Ever Sauerbraten image

This is the recipe that we made at home when I was growing up. My Dad loved it so much that we would make a double recipe and freeze half for another meal...we always ate this with pickled sweet and sour red cabbage and home made potato dumplings. We also added extra gingersnaps to the gravy cuz we like it on the sweeter side...keep tasting to your preference! The recipe is from an old cookbook called something like "how to please your husband." Don't hold that against the recipe though - it is sure to please everyone!

TRADITIONAL BAVARIAN BEEF SAUERBRATEN



Traditional Bavarian Beef Sauerbraten image

From Dean & Deluca. Sauerbraten is, quite simply, the best pot roast that we know of. Though we normally stay away from top round as a braising beef -- because it's so relatively lean -- we like to use it for sauerbraten, which requires intact slices of beef to be served at the table. Top round keeps its shape very well, and, in this dish, comes to the table quite moist -- due to the long marination and the long cooking time. To insure the moistness of the beef, have the butcher leave a thin outer covering of fat around the top round. Variation: For a "sweet" sauerbraten you can add raisins and/or gingerbread (lebkuchen) to the gravy. Serving Suggestion: Serve this deep, dark, sweet-and-sour treat with red cabbage recipe #108449 and boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or spaetzle. Serves 4

Categories     Roast Beef

Time P3DT3h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 3/4 cups red wine
2 cups sliced yellow onions
6 parsley stems
6 black peppercorns
3 bay leaves
6 whole cloves
1 1/2-2 lbs beef top round roast
1/2 cup flour
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3/4 cup chopped seeded tomatoes
3/4 cup water (approximately)
2 tablespoons cream sherry
1 tablespoon light brown sugar, plus additional to taste
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (to taste)
parsley sprig (to garnish)
sour cream (optional, to serve)

Steps:

  • In a medium saucepan combine vinegar, 1 1/2 cups of the red wine, and the onions. Wrap the parsley stems, peppercorns, bay leaves, and cloves in a double layer of cheesecloth and tie shut. Add this to the saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Turn off the heat, and cool to room temperature.
  • Prick the top round on all sides with a fork. Put it into a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Close bag and turn upside down a few times to cover meat well with marinade. Marinate, turning the bag once or twice a day, for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
  • When ready to cook, bring marinated beef to room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove beef from marinade and pat dry. Strain marinade, reserving the liquid and onions; discard the cheesecloth bag.
  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
  • Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper on a large plate, mixing well.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, ovenproof pan with a lid, large enough to hold the roast, over moderately high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, dredge meat in flour mixture, then sear well on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Pour extra fat out of pan.
  • Place 1 cup of the marinating liquid, the remaining 1/4 cup red wine, and tomatoes in the pan along with the reserved onions from the marinade. Add enough of the water so that the liquid comes about one third of the way up the side of the beef. Bring liquid to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Cover beef pan with the lid, and braise in the oven, turning sauerbraten every 30 minutes or so and spooning braising liquid over it, until meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Remove beef from pan and keep warm, covered with foil.
  • Strain and degrease the braising liquid, and discard the solids. Place the braising liquid in a small saucepan, and add the remaining marinade along with the sherry and the 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Boil the liquid until it is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the additional brown sugar, if desired, and/or lemon juice to taste. Adjust seasoning.
  • Carve roast against the grain into slices that are about 3/8 inch thick. Arrange slices on a serving platter, spoon sauce over them, and garnish with parsley sprigs. Top with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

CLASSIC SAUERBRATEN



Classic Sauerbraten image

A quick and easy Sauerbraten recipe. This entrée is served with spaetzle at the Ox Yoke Inn, in Amana, Iowa. You will need to begin marinating the beef two days ahead.

Categories     Beef     Marinate     Roast     Oktoberfest     Chill     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 1/4 cups water
1 cup cider vinegar
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, cut into 8 wedges
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1 4 1/2-pound top round roast
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1 cup canned beef broth
1/3 cup (packed) dark brown sugar
1/3 cup gingersnap cookie crumbs

Steps:

  • Combine first 8 ingredients in large saucepan and bring to boil. Cool.
  • Place beef in bowl slightly larger that beef. Pour marinade over. Cover and chill 2 days, turning beef twice daily.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Remove beef from marinade and place in roasting pan; reserve marinade. Roast beef until tender, about 2 hours. Transfer beef to carving board; cool. Pour any accumulated juices from roasting pan into marinade. Strain marinade (do not clean roasting pan).
  • Mix 1/4 cup oil and flour in heavy large skillet. Stir over medium heat until dark brown, about 10 minutes. Gradually mix in 2 cups marinade (discard any remaining marinade) and broth. Boil until thick, stirring often, about 10 minutes. Mix in sugar and cookie crumbs. Pour into roasting pan and place over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, scraping up any browned bits. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Slice beef and arrange in large baking dish. Pour sauce over meat. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and chill).
  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Bake beef until heated through, about 15 minutes.

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Cut of Beef: Opt for a lean and flavorful cut like chuck roast or top round roast.
  • Marinate the Beef Thoroughly: Allow the beef to marinate in the vinegar-based mixture for at least 24 hours, or up to 3 days. This tenderizes the meat and infuses it with flavor.
  • Sear the Beef Before Braising: Searing the beef adds a rich brown color and depth of flavor to the dish. Do this in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
  • Add Aromatics and Spices: Enhance the flavor of the braising liquid by adding aromatics like onions, carrots, celery, and garlic, along with spices like bay leaves, juniper berries, and cloves.
  • Simmer Low and Slow: Braise the beef in the covered pot or Dutch oven over low heat for several hours, or until the meat is fall-apart tender. This slow cooking process allows the flavors to meld and develop.
  • Make a Rich Sauce: Once the beef is cooked, strain the braising liquid and reduce it in a saucepan until thickened. You can also add a cornstarch slurry or a roux to achieve a desired consistency.
  • Serve with Traditional Sides: Accompany the sauerbraten with classic sides like mashed potatoes, red cabbage, and spätzle. These dishes complement the flavors of the beef and sauce perfectly.

Conclusion:

Sauerbraten is a culinary masterpiece that combines the tangy flavors of vinegar and red wine with the rich and tender beef. By following these tips and embracing the traditional techniques, you can create an unforgettable sauerbraten dish that will delight your family and friends. Remember to marinate the beef well, sear it for a flavorful crust, braise it slowly, and serve it with classic accompaniments. With a little patience and attention to detail, you'll be able to savor the true essence of this German classic.
