German Pot Roast (Sauerbraten)

German Pot Roast (Sauerbraten)

Sauerbraten is a national dish of Germany and is served internationally wherever German in restaurants featuring German food.  This recipe calls for rib-eye roast but less expensive cuts such as chuck or a rump roast could be used due to the tenderizing effect of the long marinade process. The roast is typically served with red cabbage and Knodel (potato dumplings similar to gnocchi) or Spaetzle (and egg and flour noodle).

  • Pre-heat oven to 325°. Add remaining onions to pot; cook, stirring, until caramelized, about 18 minutes. Return beef to pot with reserved marinade and sachet; boil. Cover; bake until beef is very tender, about 2 1⁄2 hours. Transfer beef to a platter; pour sauce through a fine strainer into a bowl.
  • Return pot to medium-high heat; add remaining butter. Add flour and sugar; cook, whisking constantly, until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Add sauce, raisins, gingersnaps, and juice; return beef to sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover pot, and cook until slightly reduced, about 10 minutes.
  • Thinly slice beef; arrange on a platter. Spoon sauce over top; sprinkle with bacon and parsley.
