SAUERBRATEN
Sauerbraten
Sauerbraten is a German pot roast that can be prepared with a variety of meats—most often beef, but also from venison, lamb, mutton, pork, and traditionally, horse. Before cooking, the cut of meat is marinated for several days in a mixture of vinegar or wine, water, herbs, spices and seasonings. Since usually tougher cuts of meat are used for Sauerbraten, the longer marinating of the meat acts to tenderize it resulting in a finished dish that is tender, soft, and juicy. The ingredients of the marinade vary based on regional styles and traditions throughout Germany.The above text is a snippet from Wikipedia: Sauerbraten
