sauerbraten
Vinegar-marinated beef
Sauerbraten is a German pot roast, traditionally beef, marinated for several days in a mixture of vinegar or wine with spices before being braised.
The name means "sour roast," referring to the acidic marinade that tenderizes the meat and gives it a distinctive tangy flavor.
Often served with gravy, red cabbage, and dumplings: We ordered the sauerbraten at the German restaurant.
