ingredients

1 1/4 cup water or German beer
1 cup cider vinegar
1 onion, coarsely chopped
1 lemon, cut in 8 wedges
2 bay leaves
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon whole peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
1/2 teaspoon juniper berries (optional)
4 pounds lean top round roast
1/4 cup brown sugar
12 gingersnaps, crushed
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon flour

directions

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.

Return the beef to the gravy. Cover and cook on high for 30 minutes more or until the gravy is thickened. Serve with hot buttered noodles or Spaetzle.

  1. luci sallie

    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.

  2. Tina REVIEW:

    This recipe is very easy and delicious! Even my 6 and 12 year old kids ask me to make it!
