Sauerbraten is a traditional German dish that was originally made with beef. However, over the years, it has become popular to use game meat such as venison, elk, or bison. The marinade in this recipe is a mix of red wine vinegar, burgundy wine, and spices that help to tenderize the meat and add flavor. The dish is traditionally served with potato dumplings, red cabbage, and applesauce. Game Sauerbraten is a perfect meal for the fall or winter season, as it is hearty and satisfying. It is also a great way to try something new if you are tired of traditional beef roasts.
