I don't know if it's really German version or not...but we like it! Prep time does not include 48 hour marinating time!
Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 cups red wine vinegar
1 carrot, chopped (approx 1/2 cup)
1 celery rib, chopped (approx 1/2 cup)
2 medium onions, sliced (approx 2 cups)
8 whole cloves
4 bay leaves
1/2 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 (3 lb) rump roast
1/4 cup butter
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup gingersnap crumbs (approx 12 cookies)
Directions:
1. In med saucepan, combine the first 8 ingredients; bring to boil. Place roast in glass bowl. Pour hot marinade over; cover and refrigerate for 48 hours, turning meat twice each day. Remove roast, reserving marinade; pat dry with a paper towel. In a dutch oven, brown the roast on all sides in butter. Strain marinade; discard veggies and seasonings. Add marinade to dutch oven. Cover and simmer until meat is tender, about 3 hours.
