Sauerbraten is a historically German dish that has become popular worldwide due to its flavorful and complex taste. Sauerbraten, which is the name for meat that has been marinated for several days in a vinegar-based marinade, renders a tender and delicious meat that hasn’t lost its inherent juices and flavor to the marination process. It is a perfect and classic family meal that goes well with side dishes like red cabbage, dumplings and schnitzel.
