Combine the first 8 ingredients in a large saucepan and bring to a boil. Cool.

Place beef in a glass 9" x 13" baking dish. Pour cooled marinade over beef. Cover with plastic wrap and marinate in refrigerator up to for 3 days, turning twice daily.

Remove meat and place in a 7-8 quart slow cooker. Strain marinade and pour over beef. Cook on low for 6-7 hours, or until beef starts to fall apart on the edges.

Remove beef to a platter and slice 1/4" thick. Set aside.

Strain liquid and return to crock pot, turn to high. Add the brown sugar and gingersnaps, stirring until dissolved. Mix the flour into the 1/4 cup water. Stir into the liquid and heat and stir for 5 minutes.

This recipe is terrible!! It is a good way to spoil a perfectly good piece of meat. Dont try this one. I made sauerbraten years ago from a german cookbook and we really enjoyed it. This one was just nasty.Way too sweet, Beef should be savory.
