People tell us all the time that they stopped eating beef because it was too difficult to find a truly reliable source. Our cattle enjoy the shade of large trees, blue sunny skies and direct access to this river. As you might guess, this means the grass is incredibly pure and nutritious. These fields are naturally irrigated by a sparkling river flowing with ice-melt from the Sangre de Cristo mountains. For those familiar with New Mexico, it might sound surprising that there’s so much lush green grass for them to graze on. The cows roam freely as far as the eye can see with extremely minimal handling. Our grass-fed & finished beef is raised essentially wild on a beautiful 20,000 acre ranch here in New Mexico. I chose to make this dish with a beef chuck roast, but one of our bison roasts would be equally delicious. These directions are for a stove top preparation, but this is also a great dish to prepare in a slow cooker or Instant Pot. The meat soaks up all the flavors of red wine, peppercorns, cloves, bay leaves and onion. These cuts contain a lot of connective tissue that the marinade will effectively break down. Cuts of meat like chuck roast or rump roast are often used that will become meltingly tender from the long marinating time.Īlso Read: Grass Fed & Finished Chinese Takeout Mongolian Beef One of the national dishes of Germany, sauerbraten traditionally consists of meat that has been marinated for three to five days (or sometimes as long as ten!) for optimal tenderness. The Ginger Snaps or honey bread or gingerbread not only give the gravy a sweet note, they also thicken the gravy and give it a nice, silky consistency.This traditional German sauerbraten is just the thing to make for a cozy night at home with loved ones. They are very much like my “ Spekulatius” cookies.

I didn’t even know that Ginger Snaps exist, never had them before but it turns out that they are perfect for this. Luckily, the recipe from Martin gave me the answer: He is using Ginger Snaps. I was wondering what I could use in the US, since we don’t have that honey bread. But we Germans also use other gingerbreads.

It is a rectangle bread, smaller than a regular loaf, and has a rather strong honey taste while also tasting a little bitter from molasse. Instead, my recipe asks for a certain honey bread or honey cake (Honigkuchen) that is available in Germany especially during Christmas time. We don’t regularly use them in this recipe though. There are certain sauces gingerbreads in Germany for Gingerbread Sauce. The really cool thing about the gravy is, that we make it with gingerbread. You decide what you want to make out of that! Gingerbread and Sour Roast Other regions like Swabia, usually don’t have raisins in the recipe. The Rhineland version of the recipe asks for raisins and I think they really make a difference when it comes to the taste of the gravy. I would advise you to keep the roast in the fridge during the entire marinade time. The vinegar in the marinade is crucial for making the meat tender but the wine and spices give it a delicious and unique taste. To make that meat tender, the meat is soaked in a marinade for at least 5 to 7 days or even more. The traditional Sour-Roast was made with meat that was rather tough like the meat of an old horse or certain parts of the cattle.
