- Sauerbraten
-
- 2 lb (1 kg) beef bottom round, in 1 piece
- 5 tablespoons (74 ml) lard
- 1 cup (1/4 liter) raisins, soaked in warm water for 20 minutes and drained
- salt and pepper
- 1 cup Lebkuchen or gengerbread crumbs
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) apple syrup (or substitute dark corn syrup)
- 1 cup (1/4 liter) sour cream
-
- Spiced vinegar marinade
- 2 cups (1/2 liter) water
- 1 cup (1/4 liter) wine vinegar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) salt
- 2 onions
- 1 carrot
- 5 peppercorns
- 2 whole cloves
- 1 bay leaf
- 2 juniper berries
-
- Put all the marinade ingredients into a large pan. Bring to a boil, then
- lower the heat and simmer for 15 minutes; set the marinade aside to cool.
- Place the meat in a glazed earthenware pot, pour in the marinade and leave
- the pot in a cool place or the refrigerator for two to three days, turning
- the meat occasionally.
-
- Drain the meat, pat it dry with paper towels and brown it in the lard in
- a large, heavy fireproof casserole. Strain the marinade -- discarding the
- vegetables and the seasonings -- and pour it over the beef. Cook the beef
- in an oven, preheated to to 350F, for about 1 1/2 hours, basting regularly.
- Add the raisins about 15 minutes before the end of cooking. When the meat
- is well done and very tender, transfer it to a warmed platter.
-
- Degrease the sauce remaining in the casserole and season it with salt and
- pepper. Over moderate heat, thicken the sauce with the Lebkuchen or
- gingerbread crumbs, then mix in the apple syrup or dark corn syrup and the
- sour cream.
-
- Slice the sauerbraten and serve it in its sauce with potato dumplings
- or potato pancakes and unsweetenend applesauce.
