Sauerbraten Originate

The origin of Sauerbraten has been ascribed to Julius Caesar, who is documented as having sent beef marinated in wine all the way from Rome to the new Roman colony of Cologne. Saint Albert the Great of Cologne was later credited with popularizing the recipe in the 13th century. Originally the dish was most commonly made with horse meat, and a few restaurants still serve it, but today it’s primarily made with beef. Sometimes it’s also made with venison or lamb.

Sauerbraten – Traditional German  Recipe

Sauerbraten is a national dish of Germany.  This recipe comes from my husband’s side of the family.  My mom was German, but we were vegetarian growing up, so sauerbraten wasn’t a dish in our house when I was growing up.  This recipe was a favorite of Farmer Fred when he was growing up.
Ok, I agree; why would anyone want to eat sour meat?  That sounds like it is one step away from the meat you chucked into the waste bucket.   Then when you learn that it's marinated for up to two weeks, it's tempting to say "no thank you,"  But Don't!!!  Don't let the name or how it's prepared to turn you off.  This roast is so delicious and worth the effort it takes to make it.   Enjoy.

*SIS TIP ( Simple is Smart)*

For a super flavorful and tender roast, marinate it for a week or longer and then cook it for 4-6 hours.  Most recipes recommend cooking the roast for 2 hours.  However, the cut of meat is tough cut of meat, and the extra marinating and cooking time levels up your roast from great to fantastic.
