There are certainly hundreds of Sauerbratenrezepten and each is certainly very delicious in its own way, but this is from now on my absolute favorite recipe for a magnificent. "Sauerbraten, free after Rhenish style ?.
The list of ingredients may sound a bit strange, but I experimented with the original ingredients for a "real" one. Rhenish Sauerbraten had not at hand, but enough alternatives.
First, the marinade is prepared, in which the meat (beef, in this case about 2 kg), about 8-10 days in the refrigerator rests and becomes tender. The meat, if it is abundantly and continuously covered with the marinade, simply ignore during this time!
ingredients
marinade
- 0.5 L vinegar - preferably red wine vinegar, but also any other (I took homemade red blackberry vinegar)
- 1 L red wine (quiet very cheap discounterware)
- 15 juniper berries
- 10 grains allspice
- 5 cloves
- 2 thick onions (variety does not matter)
- 2 carrots
- 3-4 bay leaves (bump or break)
- 1 tablespoon of sugar
Shortly taste, if it "fits", so if it tastes so that you do not drop the spoon, possibly missing sugar or vinegar.
The ingredients are put in a saucepan and simmered for 3-4 minutes. When the liquid is completely cold, the beef is put into it. It is important that the meat is completely covered.
The container is closed or well covered and now waits in the refrigerator for its destination.

The Sauerbraten is now sliced in the fiber direction and served on the plate with the sauce.
If the brown sauce is not dark enough, blacken with sugar couleur.
Here the quick and easy preparation of sugar couleur
- Brown 3 tbsp of brown sugar in the pan
- Deglaze with water and mix with constant stirring until a syrup has formed.
For this I serve dumplings (bread dumplings or raw dumplings) and in the cold season fresh red cabbage braised in goose fat and pomegranate syrup.
In summer I prefer caramelised bunched carrots or fresh bacon beans as a side dish.
We like to drink wine for dinner and it fits a not too heavy red wine from South Africa.
