Here the Sauerbraten is served with red cabbage and "Grünen Kößen" (which translates as Green Dumplings) These are potato dumplings made from raw potatoes. Apart from dumplings, they also like to serve some noodles with their pot roast. You will also find sometimes some dried fruit or cranberry sauce (affiliate link) in the recipe. Here the famous Nürenberger Elisenlebkuchen is used. Of course, here they like to serve their Sauerbraten with Spätzle and Red Cabbage.įränkischer Sauerbraten: (Bavaria - Franconia) In the Franconian recipe the star ingredient is the Lebkuchen Sauce. I also found a lot of recipes using sour cream. Instead of thickening the sauce with biscuits or gingerbread cake, they often use rye bread. The dish often includes garlic and very dry wine. A favorite lebkuchen for the sauce to use is Aachener Printen.īadische Sauerbraten: (Swabia) Here the recipe is less sweet but a little spicier. They like to serve their Sauerbraten with potato dumplings and apple sauce. The meat is marinated in vinegar and red wine, and the sauce is sweetened with raisins and often also with beet syrup (affiliate link). Rheinische Sauerbraten: It is probably the sweetest of the recipes. Not only are differences in the recipes but also differences in the sides that are served with the Sauerbraten. Similar recipes can be found in Baden, Bavaria, Westfalia, and Saxony. Regional DifferencesĪlthough the Rheinische Sauerbraten is the most famous dish, it is not the only way to prepare it. However nowadays beef is the cut of meat of choice. Originally they used horsemeat or game for this dish. Locals loved this dish and so the Rheinische Sauerbraten was born. The raisins for the sauce he already had in his pockets, as he brought them with him from Tuscany. So he asked to conserve his meat in vinegar. During their march from Bonn and Cologne to Aachen, his army encountered unexpected hot weather. According to a popular legend, no one less but Julius Cesar came up with the idea. The origin of the Sauerbraten recipe is believed to have a Roman influence. The name "Sauerbraten" literally translates as "Sour Roast", where "Sauer" is the word for "sour" in German and "Braten" is the word for "roast meat". To achieve the sweet and sour taste it is additionally sweetened with sugar, honey, or lebkuchen (gingerbread cake). Once the meat is cooked, the roasting juices and marinade are boiled down to a delicious sauce. The meat is slowly roasted in the marinade which is thinned with broth. Sauerbraten is a traditional German dish, where the meat is marinated in vinegar and wine marinade for up to 10 days. This recipe was brought to me by my friend Dana who comes from Düsseldorf, which lies in the Rhineland - one of the regions associated with Sauerbraten. Yes, you need to marinate it for a minimum of four days and it takes about 2.5 hours in the oven, but apart from that the recipe is actually really easy to make! A slow-cooked marinated beef roast served with a delicious sweet and sour sauce. As long as it is edible and the meat is soft then it is a good starter for a stew or an oven braised dish.This German Rheinischer Sauerbraten recipe has been a hit ever since I introduced it to my family. Again the effort you put into something is always going to effect the end result. Lessons or good results happen when you try things out. I don't want to toss the dish out the gravy is actually very nice but unless the beef adds something to flavor after I let it go two hours in the oven. ![]() So I am going to take it and put it a low oven and add some carrots and potatoes to it and make it a stew. At this point the taste is pretty neutral even after adding some more salt and pepper. Now I also added twice the amount of vinegar and some other spices being, all spice and cinnamon because they are called for when making ginger snaps. I also did not use bottled brown gravy I made my own I had made a vegetable stock a week ago and use that as my base to make the brown gravy. I just added some dry ginger and used vanilla wafers. I did not use gingersnaps because I did not have any. I read all the recipes through before I make a decision to make it or not, regardless of the list of ingredients which you know can be altered to your own taste and adjusted. ![]()
