SAUERBRATEN (GERMAN BEEF ROAST WITH GINGERSNAP SAUCE) RECIPE - (4.7/5)

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Brown beef in oil in 2 to 3 batches, about 5 minutes per batch. Transfer beef to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Stir tomato paste and ginger into skillet; cook 1 minute. Deglaze skillet with wine and reduce by half, scraping up any brown bits. Whisk in broth, vinegar, gin, tapioca, and salt; simmer 5 minutes. Taste the sauce. I found it to be a tad much on the sour side, and when I add the sugar, I felt it gave the perfect balance to the sauce. Pour broth mixture over beef in slow cooker and submerge spice sachet in it. Cover slow cooker and cook until beef is tender on high setting, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Add carrots, celery, and onion to slow cooker; stir in gingersnaps. Cover slow cooker and cook until sauce thickens and vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through,about 1 hour more. Transfer beef and vegetables to a serving dish; discard spice sachet. Serve beef and vegetables with sauce. Tasting notes: The carrots aren't mushy at all-- in fact just slightly "al dente" which we liked. The sauce turned out with just the right amount of thickness. The gingersnaps melted right into the sauce, and really gave this sauce an authentic sauerbraten flavor . I have a homemade Spaetzle recipe, but you could serve this over buttered thick noodles or mashed potatoes. Definitely worth a repeat performance!

TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN

Steps:

• Place beef rump roast, onions, vinegar, water, 1 tablespoon salt, 1 tablespoon black pepper, sugar, cloves, and bay leaves in a large pot. Cover and refrigerate for 2 to 3 days, turning meat daily. Remove meat from marinade and pat dry with paper towels, reserving marinade.
• Season flour to taste with salt and black pepper in a large bowl. Sprinkle flour mixture over beef.
• Heat vegetable oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium heat; cook beef until brown on all sides, about 10 minutes. Pour reserved marinade over beef, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer until beef is tender, 3 1/2 to 4 hours. Remove beef to a platter and slice.
• Strain solids from remaining liquid and continue cooking over medium heat. Add gingersnap cookies and simmer until gravy is thickened about 10 minutes. Serve gravy over sliced beef.
