TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN



Traditional Sauerbraten image

I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.

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.
  • Add the sugar to the meat and marinade, cover and place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until tender, approximately 4 hours.
  • 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.

SAUERBRATEN



Sauerbraten image

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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cut of beef: Traditionally, sauerbraten is made with a chuck roast or bottom round roast. These cuts are tough but flavorful, and they benefit from the long cooking time.
  • Marinate the beef for at least 24 hours: The marinade helps to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor. The longer you marinate the beef, the more flavorful it will be.
  • Use a variety of spices in the marinade: Common spices used in sauerbraten marinade include juniper berries, cloves, peppercorns, bay leaves, and allspice. You can also add other spices to taste, such as garlic, onion, or paprika.
  • Brown the beef before braising it: Browning the beef helps to develop its flavor and create a rich gravy.
  • Simmer the beef for at least 2 hours: The beef should be cooked until it is fall-apart tender. The longer you simmer it, the more tender it will be.
  • Serve sauerbraten with traditional sides: Common sides for sauerbraten include mashed potatoes, red cabbage, and dumplings.

Conclusion:

Sauerbraten is a classic German dish that is sure to please everyone at your table. It is a flavorful and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With a little planning and effort, you can make a delicious sauerbraten that your family and friends will love.
