Sauerbraten
Serves / Yields 4-6 servings
Ingredients
MARINADE INGREDIENTS:
1 cup dry red wine
1 cup red wine vinegar
2 cups cold water
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
4/5 pounds boneless beef roast, preferably bottom round. Can use Rump, Tri Tip too. I like Bottom Round the best.
ROASTING/ SAUCE INGREDIENTS:
2 1/2 cups onions, diced
2 1/2 cups carrots, diced
1 1/4 cups celery, diced
Preparation Instructions
Combine all marinade ingredients, except the roast itself, in 2-3 quart saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat. Remove from heat and allow to cool to
room temperature.
Place the beef in a deep, non-reactive (glass or ceramic) bowl or pot just large enough to hold it. Pour marinade over beef. The marinade should be
at least halfway up the sides of the roast. If necessary add more wine.
Cover tightly with foil or plastic wrap and refrigerate 3 days, turning the meat in the marinade at least twice each day. No need to turn if the meat is totally covered.
Remove meat from marinade and pat completely dry with paper towels. Strain the marinade through a fine sieve and reserve the liquid. Discard spices
and onions.
Add 2 cups of the marinade, meat, onions, carrots, and celery to the Crock Pot. Cook on low 10 hours.
Remove meat from Crock Pot, tent with foil to keep warm. Drain marinade into gravy strainer and then pour into sauce pan.
Add 1/4 cup flour to 1/4 cup hot water and mix.
Place marinade that is in the sauce pan on low heat and the flour mixture to the marinade stirring as you add until thickens. Can add equal amounts of flour and now the marinade to a measuring cup, mix and add back to pan if you want the sauce thicker.
Slice the roast, pour some sauce over slices on platter and pass remaining sauce separately.
