How To Make sauerbraten

  • 1
    Combine the first 11 ingredients in a large Dutch oven. Add the roast; cover and marinate in the refrigerator 24 to 48 hours. Remove the roast from the marinade, reserving the marinade.
  • 2
    Brown the roast in vegetable oil in a Dutch oven. Pour reserved marinade over roast; add crushed gingersnaps. Bring to a boil; cover, reduce heat, and simmer 2 to 3 hours or until the meat is tender, turning once.
  • 3
    Place the flour in a heavy skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, 15 minutes or until the flour browns. Remove from heat. Gradually add water, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
  • 4
    Remove the roast from the Dutch oven; set aside, and keep warm. Strain the pan juices and return to the Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in enough browned flour mixture to thicken the gravy. Slice the roast; serve with gravy.
