A friend shared this authentic recipe with me years ago. I think you'll enjoy the extra spice from the addition of gingersnaps. It wonderfully captures the flavor of sauerbraten.

1-1/2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1-inch cubes
2 quarts water
1 cup chopped onion
12 gingersnap cookies, crumbled
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 bottle (14 ounces) ketchup

Directions

In a Dutch oven or soup kettle, combine the first eight ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until meat is tender. Add ketchup; cover and simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.

This is very close to the sauerbraten recipe that my German grandmother made. Ginger snaps really make the best gravy. Try this, you'll like it.
