Instructions

Start one week before you plan to serve the “Sauerbraten”. Roughly chop carrot, celeriac, onions and garlic and place into a bowl. Add cloves, bay leaves, peppercorns, juniper berries, salt and sugar, wine and wine vinegar. Place the meat into the mixture and take care that it is completely covered, otherwise add more wine. Cover the bowl, transfer into the refrigerator and let marinate the meat for one week. Occasionally turn the meat.

Take the meat out of the marinade and pat dry. Strain the marinade into a bowl.

Heat the lard in a casserole pan. Add the meat and fry until browned all around. Add the diced onions and cook until golden. Add the honey, the marinade and the demi-glace. Cover and cook over low heat for approximately 2 hours. Turn the meat every 30 minutes.

When the meat is tender, take out and set aside. Crumble the gingersnap cookies into the sauce and simmer over low heat until the cookies are dissolved. With a hand blender purée the sauce and season to taste. Add the raisins.

Carve the Sauerbraten into slices and serve with the sauce, home made potato dumplings and red cabbage (see the recipes in the database!).
