Homemade Sauerbraten ( Germany)


  • 2,2 lbs of beef
  • Pepper and salt
  • 2 onions
  • 0,30 lbs kräuterprinten (gingerbread)
  • 2 tablespoons of sugar beet syrup
  • 6 tablespoons of raisins
  • 3 tablespoons oil, for frying
  • 0,066 lbs butter, melted
  • 25,36 oz wine, red, hard
  • 16,90 oz vinegar (raspberry vinegar)
  • 2 onions, roughly chopped
  • 1 carrot, coarsely mashed
  • 10 juniper berries
  • 5 allspice seeds
  • 5 cloves
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tablespoon of sugar
  • 1,32 lbs floury potatoes
  • 2 egg yolks
  • 0,11 lbs potato flour
  • Nutmeg, freshly grated from the tip of the knife
  • 1 tablespoon of salt


Add all the ingredients needed for the marinade (wine, vinegar, carrots, onions, juniper berries, allspice, cloves, bay leaves, and sugar) to a large saucepan. Bring to a boil first, then lower the heat and cook for another five minutes. Remove from heat and wait for it to cool completely. Add the meat to the marinade. Cover the pot with a lid, then refrigerate for up to 3 weeks.

Dry the meat slightly and strain the marinade. Saute the meat in oil, then add two chopped onions and season with salt and pepper. Finely chop the gingerbread and place it around the meat with three tablespoons of raisins. Look at the salt and pepper and add the sugar beet syrup. Saute for a short time. Cover the pot and cook for two hours until the meat is tender. Note that if you marinate the meat for three weeks, the meat will cook sooner.

Remove the meat from the pot but keep it warm. Meanwhile, puree the sauce. If necessary, whisk with a mixture of flour and cold water to thicken. Then add the remaining raisins and cook for another 15 minutes. The resulting sauce should be very thick.

Cook peeled potatoes in salted water. Pass the potatoes through a grater, then mix the potatoes well with the potato flour, salt, egg and nutmeg. Shape the patties with your hands and place each on a lightly floured surface. After making all the meatballs, boil them in salted water. It will be cooked when it rises to the surface of the water.
