I have a homemade Spaetzle recipe, but you could serve this over buttered thick noodles or mashed potatoes. The gingersnaps melted right into the sauce, and really gave this sauce an authentic sauerbraten flavor. Add all other ingredients except gingersnaps. The sauce turned out with just the right amount of thickness. 13 cup vinegar 8 gingersnaps Sprinkle roast on all sides with salt & pepper. Tasting notes: The carrots aren't mushy at all- in fact just slightly "al dente" which we liked. Transfer beef and vegetables to a serving dish discard spice sachet.

Pour broth mixture over beef in slow cooker and submerge spice sachet in it.Ĭover slow cooker and cook until beef is tender on high setting, 2 1/2 to 3 hours.Īdd carrots, celery, and onion to slow cooker stir in gingersnaps.Ĭover slow cooker and cook until sauce thickens and vegetables are tender, stirring halfway through,about 1 hour more. I found it to be a tad much on the sour side, and when I add the sugar, I felt it gave the perfect balance to the sauce. Whisk in broth, vinegar, gin, tapioca, and salt simmer 5 minutes. Stir tomato paste and ginger into skillet cook 1 minute.ĭeglaze skillet with wine and reduce by half, scraping up any brown bits. At its core, however, sauerbraten involves a large piece of meat that has been marinated and slowly cooked in a vinegar-based marinade, which is then turned. Transfer beef to a 4- to 6-quart slow cooker. Brown beef in oil in 2 to 3 batches, about 5 minutes per batch. Mix well, then cover and cook on low for 8 to 9 hours. Cover and cook on low for 7 to 9 hours, or until the beef is tender. In a bowl, combine brown sugar, nutmeg, onion soup mix sprinkle over the beef. Arrange the steak pieces over the root vegetables. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. In a large slow cooker, combine the meat, onions, brothm vinegar, bay leaves, carrots, and potatoes. Combine the sliced onion and potatoes in the bottom of the crockpot. It's great for thickening stews and pies.

I used one tablespoon of Clearjel, that I order from King Arthur.Ask your butcher for chuck-eye roast, which is a very tender cut of beef, and has more marble to it You'll be much happier with this cut of beef.6 medium carrots, halved crosswise, then halved lengthwise.2 teaspoons sugar (my addition to the sauce, which seemed just a tad too tart, when I tasted it).
