TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN
I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.

BERGISCHER SAUERBRATEN
Sauerbraten is a dish that is traditional from the Rhineland and the Bergisch region. This one is a bit of a twist on the traditional, and the sauce is so good, you will probably find yourself soaking bread in it to finish it off. It was traditionally done with horse meat, but it is more commonly done with beef now. We prefer it with roe deer, which is a small type of deer from the region but it works well with beef and horse too. It has to be done well ahead of time and it is better the longer it sits but it is not very much work for the great result. It goes well with potatoes or dumplings and red cabbage or broccoli rabé. I have taken some ideas from several recipes I found online.

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over high heat combine the water, cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, bay leaves, cloves, juniper, and mustard seeds. Cover and bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Pat the bottom round dry and rub with vegetable oil and salt on all sides. Heat a large saute pan over high heat; add the meat and brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- When the marinade has cooled to a point where you can stick your finger in it and not be burned, place the meat in a non-reactive vessel and pour over the marinade. Place into the refrigerator for 3 days. If the meat is not completely submerged in the liquid, turn it over once a day.
- After 3 days of marinating, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Add the sugar to the meat and marinade, cover and place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until tender, approximately 4 hours.
- Remove the meat from the vessel and keep warm. Strain the liquid to remove the solids. Return the liquid to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Whisk in the gingersnaps and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Add the raisins if desired. Slice the meat and serve with the sauce.
RHINELAND SAUERBRATEN
"Braising is a cooking method that is little understood and much neglected," Mimi Sheraton wrote in The Times in 1983. "The long, slow, moist process fills the house with warm scents of simmering meats, vegetables and herbs and yields in robust main courses that include rich sauces and gravies to be aborbed by potatoes, rice or noodles. And because the moisture tenderizes the meat, even the least expensive cuts gradually take on savory overtones." She accompanied her article with this luscious sauerbraten, which benefits greatly from larding the meat with bacon or salt pork, and is even better the day after it is prepared.

Steps:
- Rump or round of beef should be well larded with thin matchstick strips of bacon or salt pork. Tie meat firmly with string in several places so it will be easy to turn without piercing and will hold shape. Rub well with salt on all sides and place in deep, closefitting glass or earthenware bowl.
- Combine vinegar and water and add onion, bay leaves, cloves, peppercorns, pickling spices and carrot. Bring to boil and simmer 5 minutes. Cool marinade thoroughly and pour over beef. Meat should be completely covered by marinade; if it is not, add equal amounts of water and vinegar until it is. Cover and place in refrigerator for 3 to 5 days; the longer it stands the more piquant the roast will be, so adjust time to suit taste. Turn meat in marinade 2 or 3 times a day, using string as handle.
- Remove meat from marinade. Strain marinade and reserve. Dry meat thoroughly with paper towels. Meat will not brown properly if it is wet, so dry as much as possible.
- Dice bacon and fry slowly in butter in 5-quart Dutch oven or casserole. When fat is hot, add meat and brown slowly. Using string as handle, turn so meat is well seared and golden brown (but not black) on all sides. This should take about 15 minutes.
- Remove browned meat and add sliced onions to hot fat. Fry, stirring from time to time, until onions are deep golden brown but not black.
- Return meat to pot, placing on top of onions. Add marinade until it reaches about halfway up sides of meat. Add fresh bay leaf and cloves (not those used in marinade). Bring marinade to boil, cover pot tightly with heavy, close-fitting lid, reduce heat and simmer very slowly but steadily 3 1/2 to 4 hours, turning meat 2 or 3 times during cooking. Add more marinade to pot if needed. If you cannot lower heat enough to keep sauce at slow simmer, place an asbestos mat or flame trivet under pot. Meat is done when it can be pierced easily with long-pronged fork or skewer.
- Remove meat to heated platter and strain gravy. Skim off excess fat and return gravy to pot. Melt butter in saucepan and when hot, stir in flour and sugar. Cook over very low heat, stirring constantly until sugar mixture turns a deep caramel color. Be very careful doing this, as sugar burns all at once (if it become black, this part of the operation would have to be started again). Add sugar-flour to hot gravy and stir through briskly with wire whisk.
- Season with lemon juice to taste; gravy should have a mild sweet-sour flavor. Add raisins, which have been soaked and drained. Return meat to pot, cover and simmer 10 minutes. If sauce becomes too thick, add a little more marinade. Tablespoonful of tomato puree can be stirred in and heated 4 or 5 minutes before serving time, to enrich the color of the gravy. Check gravy for seasoning. Slice meat and arrange on heated platter and mask with a little gravy, serving rest in heated sauceboat. Serve with dumplings, noodles, boiled potatoes or potato pancakes.

Steps:
- wash and pat dry roast.
- mix all dry ingredients together and rub onto roast.
- spread a liberal amount of mustard onto roast.
- heat oil in a heavy roasting pan (enameled cast iron works well) on top of stove and brown carrots and leeks.
- push vegetables aside and brown roast from all sides in the very very hot roasting pan.
- ad onions INCLUDING the brown skins (this is VERY IMPORTANT since it will give your gravy an good color).
- ad broth and transfer everything to the oven.
- roast covered for 1 1/2 hours at 350°F.
- uncover, stir onions and veggies.
- turn roast over and roast uncovered for 1 hour (if liquid evaporates a lot, add some more occasionally.
- once roasting time has finished transfer meat to a plate to rest.
- take a basting brush, dip into the hot liquid and scrub all the sides of the roasting pan (and the lid if necessary). All the brown stains on the walls of your pan will ad flavor and color to your sauce!
- strain all the liquid through a fine meshed strainer (stainless steel will work better then the plastic ones). Press solids vigorously with a spoon to press as much liquid (as well all solids that can get pressed through) through the strainer into a sauce pan and reduce slightly on high heat.
- Slice roast into 1/2 thick slices and pour gravy liberally over everthing.
- Best served with potato dumplings and sauerkraut.
