Clay Haus Sauerbraten is a traditional German dish that is typically made with marinated beef, vinegar, and spices. This version of the dish skips the marination step, but still maintains the tangy flavor from the vinegar and sour cream. The gingersnaps in the recipe may seem like an unusual addition, but they actually help to thicken the sauce and add a hint of sweetness to balance out the sourness. This hearty dish is perfect for a cozy night in or a special occasion.

6.Cover the pot and bake in the preheated oven for 3-4 hours, or until the meat is tender.
7.Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard.
8.Remove the beef from the pot and set aside to rest.
