Bavarian Sauerbraten

Sauerbraten is a German beef pot roast. Before cooking, the meat is marinated at least overnight in a mixture of vinegar or wine, and seasonings. This is served over a bed of pasta or spaetzle. Here we highlight the Bavarian variety with its brown sugar and gingersnap balancing out the sharp vinegar marinade.


A different way to use cheap stew beef in a hearty German sauce and served over pasta.


Ingredients:
-2 lbs. stew meat (beef)
-1 cup chopped carrots
-1 cup celery chunks (bite-sized)
-1 yellow onion (slivers)
-1 tsp garlic powder
-1 tsp salt + ½ tsp pepper
-1 cup vinegar
-1 (14-oz) can beef broth
¾ cup dried cranberries
- ¼ cup brown sugar (firmly packed)
-15-20 crushed gingersnap cookies


Directions:
 

 
Do your cutting: chop the celery and carrots into 2 inch pieces.
 

 
Cut the onion from top to bottom making slivers.
In a bowl mix the vinegar, seasonings, and beef broth.


Begin by placing 2 lbs. (or other desired amount) stew meat in the bottom of a large bowl.
Over raw meat, toss the carrots, celery, and onion.
Next, pour the liquid vinegar mix over the ingredients. Cover well and refrigerate overnight before slow-cooking. 
 



In the morning:
wipe out the slow cooker and spray, set on low. Add mixture to pot and let cook for 9 – 10 hours. 
 



About 30 minutes before serving, remove the lid, and add the following: ¼ cup brown sugar (firmly packed) and 15-20 crushed gingersnap cookies. ¾ cup dried cranberries. 
 



Stir well, replace lid, and switch Crock Pot setting to HIGH. Allow stew to heat 30 minutes or until thickened.



Serve with a bed of pasta. If you wish, maybe a side of green beans would go nicely.



This is being served for our Oktober Pot Luck Dinner. What a great way to be serving my Master Indy.
