(Great for Oktoberfest) Addendum to the aforementioned review: Keep in mind this is a slow cooker recipe, so it won't have the luxurious appearance of an oven roasted meat.

) If you're REALLY ambitious, you can add Deutsche Kartoffelsalat (German Potato Salad), Currywurst, Rouladen (Beef Rolls) and Authentic German Beer (Prost!) for a night of German culinary 'travel'. :-) This recipe is best served with: Rotkohl (red cabbage) und Apfelkuchen (Apple cake) für Dessert. So if you've had authentic sauerbraten before, don't knock a recipe because it isn't 'identical' to the one you tried - rate this based on it's own merit for flavor, texture, complexity of prep, etc. Remember, in Germany, just as in the US (or anywhere for that matter), there are varied ways of making any "regional dish" and each cook adds their own 'twist' to each dish. Also, please don't skip the Juniper Berries - they too are critical for an authentic flavor.

It's VERY critical you choose one that has a flavor you can 'live with'. Make sure you are careful of which gingersnaps you use! It changes the gravy flavor dramatically and literally makes or breaks this dish. If you're looking for authentic German Sauerbraten, you MUST try this one! The flavor profile exceeds that of our local Bavarian restaurant (the owner(s) are from Bayern, Deutschland), and this recipe is sehr gute! Wunderbar!!!! The only thing I must caution ANYONE making this on. It was still way too sour in addition to being too thick so I added about a cup of water and that toned it down a tiny bit but it was still too strong. I ground the cookies up in a food processor and they thickened the gravy up a little too much so I was getting as much sugar from the cookies as possible. It was way too sour and I usually like big, bold tastes. As long as you got a little from the outside of the roast it had a nice little kick of sour to it's taste. The meat came out almost fall apart tender. I also cooked this in a Dutch oven where I browned the meat on all 4 sides first before adding the liquid and brought it just to a boil and then put it in a 250 degree oven for just under 4 hours.

Somewhat unusually for me I followed the measurements to a T with the exception of juniper berries which I could not find at the store plus I added a couple of extra gingersnap cookies because they looked small to me (about the size of a half dollar). I love sauerkraut on Reubens or brats and I always buy the good stuff that's refrigerated and not the canned junk.
