Sauerbraten Soup
Sauerbraten and soup are both family favorites. This combines the two, without the long marinating time the traditional beef dish requires. You can substitute spaetzle or gnocchi for the egg noodles. —Jennifer Yerkes, Franklin Square, New York
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 pounds beef stew meat, cut into 1 inch pieces
