Traditional Sauerbraten Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: German Recipes. (Traditional Sauerbraten Recipe). I found two slightly different hand written versions of this, my Grandmother's recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in the 1904, she naturally learned to cook traditional German meals as a young woman and didn't rely on a cookbook. I try to capture the nuance in this. Serve with potato dumplings.
