Sauerbraten is the most famous German roast in the world! Marinating the meat for 3 to 5 days in a vinegar-wine base helps to develop deep, complex flavors, but if you find yourself running short on time like I often do, please see the notes for a quicker method that works just as well! It’s hard to beat the sweet-and-sour combination in this roast and there really isn’t anything quite like it! And as a Trier-native who was always surrounded by Roman landmarks and history growing up, I loved learning that Sauerbraten has also been around since the Roman days. Sauerbraten is totally appropriate as a fun weekend dinner project, but fancy enough to dish up for Christmas dinner or for your boyfriend's birthday.Serve with Semmelknödel, Kartoffelklöße, or Spätzle and Rotkohl.
