I love sauerbraten, and this is a good, old fashioned recipe for it. Enjoy! An adopted recipe.
Ingredients:
4 lbs boneless beef rump roast
2 onions, thinly sliced
8 peppercorns
4 whole cloves
1 bay leaf
1 cup mild white vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups boiling water
10 gingersnaps
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon unbleached flour
Directions:
1. Place the beef roast in a deep ceramic or glass bowl.
2. Add onions, peppercorns, cloves, and bay leaf.
3. Pour white vinegar and cider vinegar over the meat; chill, covered, for 4 days. Turn meat twice each day.
4. Remove the meat from the marinade, dry it well with paper towels, and strain the marinade into a bowl. Reserve the onions and 1 cup marinade.
5. In a Dutch oven brown the meat on all sides in hot vegetable oil.
6. Sprinkle meat with salt.
7. Pour boiling water around the meat. Sprinkle in crushed gingersnaps, and simmer covered for 1 1/2 hours, turning often.
8. Add 1 cup of reserved marinade and cook meat approximately 2 hours or until tender.
9. Remove the meat and keep it warm.
10. Strain the cooking juices into a large saucepan.
11. In a small bowl mix sour cream with flour.
