This dish has delighted guests as well as family. I don’t remember where this recipe came from, but it has been a family favorite for many years. It’s an excellent German dish, similar to sauerbraten, but you don’t have to marinate the meat for several days. The meat is very flavorful and tender.

I needed to add WAY more cooking liquid than indicated. Almost double. It was tasty & tender, but you definitely need to keep a close eye on the liquid level while cooking.
