GERMAN SAUERBRATEN

 

4 lbs beef rump roast

1 1/2 cups vinegar

1 cup Coca-Cola

3/4 cups water

3 onions, sliced

2 stalks celery, sliced

2 carrots, sliced

10 peppercorns

10 whole cloves

3 bay leaves

2 tbs sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

3 tbs olive oil

Gravy

3 cups drippings plus strained marinade

5 tbs flour

5 tsp ginger snap crumbs

 

2 to 3 days before serving, combine vinegar, Coke, water, onions, celery, carrots, pepper, cloves, bay leaves, sugar, and salt to make marinade.  Place meat into a gallon zip-lock, pour in marinade, double bag and place in cooler.  Turn occasionally.  When ready to cook, heat olive oil in Dutch oven.  Remove meat from bag, saving marinade, rub with flour and brown.  Add 1 cup of marinade plus veggies and bay leaves.  Cover and simmer 2 hours.  Remove.  Strain drippings and make gravy.  Slice meat into serving pieces and serve with gravy over top.  Thanks to Coke
