PRESSURE-COOKER SAUERBRATEN
One of my all-time favorite German dishes is sauerbraten, but I don't love that it normally takes five to 10 days to make. Using an electric pressure cooker, I think I've captured that same distinctive flavor in less than two hours. -James Schend, Deputy Editor, Taste of Home

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Place a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, add a film of oil along with the onions and a pinch of salt.

Cook until everything is caramelized and softened, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock. Simmer this mixture until the cabbage is cooked through and the liquid has reduced, about 5 minutes.

Tips:
- Choose the right cut of beef: Chuck roast, bottom round, or brisket are all good options for sauerbraten. These cuts are tough and flavorful, and they will benefit from the long cooking time.
- Marinate the beef for at least 24 hours: The marinade will help to tenderize the beef and infuse it with flavor. Be sure to use a glass or ceramic container for marinating, as metal containers can react with the acid in the marinade.
- Cook the beef slowly: Sauerbraten is a slow-cooked dish, so be patient. The beef should be cooked until it is fork-tender, which will take at least 2 hours.
- Use a good quality red wine: The red wine used in the marinade and sauce should be a good quality wine that you would enjoy drinking. A dry red wine, such as a Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, is a good choice.
- Serve sauerbraten with traditional accompaniments: Sauerbraten is traditionally served with mashed potatoes, red cabbage, and noodles. These accompaniments help to balance out the richness of the beef and sauce.
Conclusion:
Sauerbraten is a delicious and hearty dish that is perfect for a special occasion. With a little planning and effort, you can make sauerbraten that will impress your family and friends. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting dish to try, give sauerbraten a try. You won't be disappointed!
