A popular German dish is Sauerbraten which is considered one of the country’s national dishes. It is essentially a German pot roast and is made with beef, veal, or venison as the main meat. Traditional sauerbraten was prepared using horse meat.
Directions for Preparing Sauerbraten
- Create a marinade for the meat by combining the red wine vinegar, black pepper, white sugar, onions, salt, cloves, and bay leaves.
- Marinate the beef rump in a covered container for 2-3 days in the refrigerator, turning it daily.
- Remove the meat from the container and pat dry with paper towels.
- Reserve the marinade.
- Combine the flour with a little salt and black pepper, then coat the beef rump with the flour mixture.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven pot.
- Place the beef in the pot and fry for about ten (0:10) minutes or until all sides are brown.
- Pour in the previously reserved marinade so that it coats the meat.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to medium-low.
- Allow the beef to cook for about four (4:00) hours or until it is tender and thoroughly cooked.
- Transfer the cooked beef rump to a serving platter and use a sharp knife to slice the beef.
- Strain the cooking liquid to remove any solids, then return the liquid to the pot.
- Add the crumbled gingersnap cookies and simmer for ten (0:10) minutes till the gravy thickens.
- Pour the gravy over the sliced beef.
- Serve hot with potato dumplings.
