TRADITIONAL GERMAN SAUERBRATEN
This sour beef dish was often cooked by my German grandmother. It is perfect for any Oktoberfest celebration and is sure to get many rave reviews. My wife was not so hot on the idea of sour beef until she tried it in Germanland in Epcot Center. Serve with potato dumplings, potato pancakes or boiled potatoes (or boiled cauliflower).

Steps:
- In a large saucepan over high heat combine the water, cider vinegar, red wine vinegar, onion, carrot, salt, pepper, bay leaves, cloves, juniper, and mustard seeds. Cover and bring this to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Pat the bottom round dry and rub with vegetable oil and salt on all sides. Heat a large saute pan over high heat; add the meat and brown on all sides, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- When the marinade has cooled to a point where you can stick your finger in it and not be burned, place the meat in a non-reactive vessel and pour over the marinade. Place into the refrigerator for 3 days. If the meat is not completely submerged in the liquid, turn it over once a day.
- After 3 days of marinating, preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
- Add the sugar to the meat and marinade, cover and place on the middle rack of the oven and cook until tender, approximately 4 hours.
- Remove the meat from the vessel and keep warm. Strain the liquid to remove the solids. Return the liquid to the pan and place over medium-high heat. Whisk in the gingersnaps and cook until thickened, stirring occasionally. Strain the sauce through a fine mesh sieve to remove any lumps. Add the raisins if desired. Slice the meat and serve with the sauce.

TRADITIONAL SAUERBRATEN
I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.

TRADITIONAL BAVARIAN BEEF SAUERBRATEN
From Dean & Deluca. Sauerbraten is, quite simply, the best pot roast that we know of. Though we normally stay away from top round as a braising beef -- because it's so relatively lean -- we like to use it for sauerbraten, which requires intact slices of beef to be served at the table. Top round keeps its shape very well, and, in this dish, comes to the table quite moist -- due to the long marination and the long cooking time. To insure the moistness of the beef, have the butcher leave a thin outer covering of fat around the top round. Variation: For a "sweet" sauerbraten you can add raisins and/or gingerbread (lebkuchen) to the gravy. Serving Suggestion: Serve this deep, dark, sweet-and-sour treat with red cabbage recipe #108449 and boiled new potatoes (salzkartoffel) or spaetzle. Serves 4

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan combine vinegar, 1 1/2 cups of the red wine, and the onions. Wrap the parsley stems, peppercorns, bay leaves, and cloves in a double layer of cheesecloth and tie shut. Add this to the saucepan, and bring mixture to a boil. Turn off the heat, and cool to room temperature.
- Prick the top round on all sides with a fork. Put it into a large resealable plastic bag and pour the marinade over it. Close bag and turn upside down a few times to cover meat well with marinade. Marinate, turning the bag once or twice a day, for 3 to 4 days in the refrigerator.
- When ready to cook, bring marinated beef to room temperature, about 2 hours. Remove beef from marinade and pat dry. Strain marinade, reserving the liquid and onions; discard the cheesecloth bag.
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
- Combine the flour, salt, and black pepper on a large plate, mixing well.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a heavy, ovenproof pan with a lid, large enough to hold the roast, over moderately high heat. When the oil is hot but not smoking, dredge meat in flour mixture, then sear well on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Pour extra fat out of pan.
- Place 1 cup of the marinating liquid, the remaining 1/4 cup red wine, and tomatoes in the pan along with the reserved onions from the marinade. Add enough of the water so that the liquid comes about one third of the way up the side of the beef. Bring liquid to a boil and boil for 5 minutes. Cover beef pan with the lid, and braise in the oven, turning sauerbraten every 30 minutes or so and spooning braising liquid over it, until meat is very tender, about 3 hours. Remove beef from pan and keep warm, covered with foil.
- Strain and degrease the braising liquid, and discard the solids. Place the braising liquid in a small saucepan, and add the remaining marinade along with the sherry and the 1 tablespoon brown sugar. Boil the liquid until it is reduced by half, about 10 minutes. Add the additional brown sugar, if desired, and/or lemon juice to taste. Adjust seasoning.
- Carve roast against the grain into slices that are about 3/8 inch thick. Arrange slices on a serving platter, spoon sauce over them, and garnish with parsley sprigs. Top with a dollop of sour cream, if desired.

SAUERBRATEN
Steps:
- It is best to have the meat in one solid piece, but if it is boned and rolled, make sure it has no added covering of suet. Combine the vinegar, wine, water and seasonings, pour this mixture over the meat. Add the sliced onions. Keep meat in the refrigerator, covered with marinade, for 1-3 days, turning occasionally. (Purists say it should be 3 days; I find 1 day sufficient.) Remove meat from marinade, wipe dry with paper towels and brown in the shortening over high heat, sprinkling with 1 tablespoon flour. Strain and add marinade, cover, lower heat and cook gently for 4-5 hours, until fork-tender. Remove meat and keep in warm place. Pour off the stock. In the same kettle, melt the butter, add the remaining flour and the sugar, stirring until smooth and browned. Slowly add the stock, cooking until smooth and thickened. Add the crushed gingersnaps, and cook until dissolved. Replace meat in the sauce and cook 1/2 hour longer. Meanwhile, cook noodles to serve with the sauerbraten. This dish tastes better the second day.

15 DISHES OF BAVARIAN FOOD TO TRY IN GERMANY I TRAVEL EARTH
From travel.earth
Estimated Reading Time 4 mins
- Sauerkraut. Sauerkraut is an extremely popular side dish made of finely-shredded, fermented cabbages. It is served with everything, from sausages to pork dishes.
- Currywurst. A beloved German snack, currywurst is made with steamed and fried pork sausages, or bratwurst, that is then served with curry ketchup, sprinkled with curry powder and accompanied by fries.
- Kaiserschmarrn. Kaiserschmarrn is a mildly-sweet pancake dish that is scrambled until it is lightly caramelized. As the pancake mix cooks, it is turned and cut with a fork, and then usually served with sugar, berries, jam, or seasonal fruits.
- Leberknödelsuppe. Lots of traditional Bavarian foods are based around liver, and the leberknödel suppe (liver dumpling soup) is quite popular. The leberknödel, or liver dumplings are a savoury blend of liver, flour, eggs and spices, that are served in a clear broth.
- Weisswurst. Bavarians love their sausages. The thick and tender Weisswurst (literally, “white sausages”) are usually eaten for breakfast. These distinctive white sausages are made from veal and pork flavoured with parsley and onion.
- Apfelstrudel. Apfelstrudel, or apple strudel, is another tasty Bavarian treat. This dessert consists of fine sheets of dough (strudel) filled with apple mousse or apple chunks and baked until crisp.
- Bretzel and Obatzda. Bavarian pretzels, or bretzels, are known for their slightly hard crust and soft, chewy centre. Ther are lots of varieties to be found, and bretzels are often accompanied by obatzda, a thick, creamy dip made with soft cheese and butter and seasoned with salt, paprika, pepper, garlic, and spices.
- Beer. What is a visit to Bavaria without trying some of its famous beer? Like the rest of Germany, beer is brewed according to the Reinheitsgebot, a purity law that only permits water, hops, and malt as ingredients in beer, making it free of additives.
- Schnitzel. Another popular dish from Bavaria, the schnitzel is usually made from veal or pork. The meat is pounded until flat and then lightly breaded and fried.
- Germknödel with vanilla sauce. The knödel is a typical Bavarian dumpling. Here, it is filled with powidl, a delicious plum sauce, and served with creamy pudding, vanilla sauce and topped with poppy seeds.
