"To cook is to create. And to create well...is an act of integrity, and faith."

Bavarian Sauerbraten

"The gentle art of gastronomy is a friendly one. It hurdles the language
barrier, makes friends among civilized people, and warms the heart."

Bavarian Sauerbraten
Gourmet Archives

2 1/2 cups dry red wine
1 1/2 cups red-wine vinegar
4 onions
Leaves from 1 bunch of celery
2 tablespoons coarse salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
10 cloves
2 teaspoons black peppercorns, crushed lightly
4 parsley sprigs
2 bay leaves
1 (4-pound) rump roast, tied
2 tablespoons clarified butter
1/2 cup crushed gingersnaps

In a large bowl stir together well the wine, vinegar, 1 cup water, 3 of the onions, quartered, celery leaves, salt, sugar, mustard seeds, nutmeg, cloves, peppercorns, parsley, and bay leaves. Add the meat and let it marinate, covered and chilled, turning occasionally, for 3 to 4 days.
Remove the meat from the marinade and reserve the marinade. Season the meat with salt and pepper. In a kettle heat the clarified butter over moderately high heat until it is hot but not smoking. Add the meat and brown on all sides. Add the reserved marinade and gently simmer the mixture, covered, for 3 1/2 to 4 hours, or until the meat is tender.
Transfer the meat to a cutting board. Strain the cooking liquid and skim off the fat. Transfer 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid to a saucepan, bring to a boil, and stir in the gingersnaps and the remaining liquid, a little at a time, stirring. Boil the sauce, stirring, until it is thickened and add salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 8.

Slice the meat and serve it with the sauce, Potato Dumplings,
and German Red Cabbage.  [More Sauerbraten]
