Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Place meat in a large plastic bag.
  2. In a large bowl, thoroughly combine vinegar, wine, water, onions, celery, carrots, pepper, cloves, bay leaves, sugar and salt; pour over meat.
  3. Fasten bag tightly and lay flat in a 9 X 13 pan.
  4. Refrigerate 2-3 days, turning bag each day. (If you like sour sauerbraten, let marinate for 4 days.)
  5. When ready to cook, remove meat (saving marinade) and dry well. Rub the surface lightly with flour.
  6. In a Dutch oven, heat oil and slowly brown the meat well on all sides.
  7. Add 1 cup of the marinade liquid plus some of the vegetables and bay leaves.
  8. Cover tightly and simmer on surface heat or in a preheated 350° F oven for 3 to 4 hours until the meat is fork tender.
  9. If needed, add more marinade during the cooking time to keep at least 1/2 inch liquid in the Dutch oven.
  10. Remove the meat and keep warm until ready to slice.
  11. Into a large measuring cup, strain the drippings.
  12. Add several ice cubes and let stand for a few minutes until the fat separates out.
  13. Remove the fat, then make the gravy.
  14. TO MAKE THE GRAVY:
  15. In the Dutch oven, combine the gravy ingredients, stir and cook for about 5 minutes over medium heat until gravy has thickened.
  16. Taste for seasonings and adjust if necessary.
  17. This makes about 3 cups of gravy.
