Chef Suggestions
Traditionally, sauerbraten is made by marinating meat in a vinegar mixture up to 4 days, then braising in the oven. The slow cooker method is much easier and just as delicious.
At the end, you'll need to taste the gravy several times, and add either gingersnaps or vinegar so it is to your liking. Have extra gingersnaps on hand for this purpose.
