Sauerbraten and semmelknödel

[bill ace 350]

Sauerbraten was marinated 10 days.

Seared in bacon grease in Dutch oven.

Simmered until IT was 145.

No Kraut or rotkohl.

Delicious.

Looks delicious!

Not sure exactly what my mom's process was for Sauerbraten but I know she used gingersnaps in her recipe.

Probably similar to this one.

Traditional Sauerbraten

This sauerbraten is marinated for at least two days for a deeply flavorful roast both tangy and savory. It's easy to see why this is such a classic.

Don't see any red cabbage on your plate ........ my dad would have went off if red cabbage wasn't served with his sauerbraten lol.

Beef, marinated in vinegar, red wine, spices...

The wine and vinegar break down tough cuts like eye of round.

Browned then slow cooked in some of the marinade which has been thickened with pureed vegetables, dry pumpernickel bread crumbs. Some add ginger snap cookies, some ginger bread. I left it out.

Served with potato or bread dumplings.

I usually have sauerkraut as a side, though red cabbage is supposed to be traditional.

Gotta have spaetzle! But boxed spaetzle, when you can find it, is expensive. Spaetzle makers are expensive

The first pic shows what you can do with a 99 cent plastic bowl from Walmart, and a drill press. Dump the batter in the bowl and use a spatula to work it through the holes into a pot of boiling water. Second pic is a better view of the results. Serve with sauerbraten gravy over the top So easy!

Man I love Sauerbraten and that looks fabulous! I think it maybe time to make one!

That looks great! I too leave out the gingersnaps, I like it sour. Red cabbage, spaetzle. This is the spaetzle maker I have, not too costly and works great.

LOOKS FANTASTIC! The bacon grease sear is SOOO authentic german.

Inspired from the other thread, gonna be running mine soon. Not sure if potato or bread dumpling yet tho. EOR rubbed with pickling spice, caraway, WP, and salt. While not acidic, the flavor of that spice mix was INSANE. Gonna SV 24hrs and then hit with the broiler a day or 2 later. Sour is gonna come from the gravy and I like gingersnaps in mine.

S Smoke-Chem BBQ That is RIGHT up my DIY alley, cheap and effective. My grandma's MO for spaetzle was chicken stock instead of water to cook and butter on them when serving. I've heard germans also add Maggi.
