Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds beef roast
  • 1 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • 2 carrots, chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon mustard seeds
  • 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup dried prunes
  • 1/2 cup dried apricots
  • 1 cup grapes, halved
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, combine red wine vinegar, water, onion, carrots, garlic, mustard seeds, peppercorns, and salt to create a marinade.
  2. Submerge the beef roast in the marinade and refrigerate for at least 3 days, turning occasionally.
  3. Remove the roast from the marinade, pat dry, and sear in a hot pan until browned on all sides.
  4. Add the marinade and dried fruits to the pot and bring to a boil.
  5. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 hours until the beef is tender.
  6. In a separate bowl, mix grapes with olive oil and serve as a side salad.
  7. Slice the Sauerbraten and serve with the grapes salad.

Notes

  • Let the roast marinate for a full three days for best flavor.
  • Using a pressure cooker can reduce the cooking time significantly.
  • This dish tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.
