Draggingtree Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Sauerbraten Recipe(Braised Beef) The key to this Sauerbraten recipe is the 3-day marinade soak. The vinegar in the marinade makes the braised beef extra tender. If you are thinking of skimping on the marinade time, don’t. It just isn’t worth all of the prep work without the three-day soak. This is not a last minute meal. If you are cramped for time, try the Falscher Hase, but if you want a traditional German roast that is perfect for a special occasion, Sauerbraten is exactly what you want.
