Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Sauerbraten with Gingersnap Gravy.
Step 1
In a slow cooker, combine cubed beef, chopped onion, beef broth, red wine vinegar, and bay leaves for a rich flavor infusion.
Step 2
Cover the cooker and let it work its magic on the Low setting for 7 to 9 hours, allowing the beef to become irresistibly tender.
Step 3
While the beef simmers, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil.
Step 4
Add the egg noodles and cook them according to the package instructions, stirring occasionally until they reach that perfect al dente texture, which should take about 4 to 5 minutes.
Step 5
Once cooked, drain the noodles and set them aside, ready to soak up the delicious sauce.
Step 6
When the beef is tender, carefully remove the bay leaves from the slow cooker.
Step 7
Stir in crushed gingersnap cookies and brown sugar, letting the mixture continue to cook on Low for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the gravy to thicken beautifully.
Step 8
Serve this delightful sauerbraten over the egg noodles, and finish with a sprinkle of freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor.
Step 9
Enjoy a comforting meal that warms the soul and brings a taste of tradition to your table.
