California Farm Sauerbraten Beef Brisket
Three pounds of juicy beef brisket flank meat in a rich filling gravy, six beef dinners, perfect for freezing.
Sauerbraten means “ fried in sour” and is all about marinading pre roasted beef to sear in the tenderness and flavors and get the drippings to make a special Sauerbraten gravy with the marinade. Then, heating the meat a second time in the oven covered by this special sweet and sour gravy. This recipe is different from making a beef chuck sauerbraten or sirloin sauerbraten, because with those, we sear the juices in, but with brisket meat, which contains more fat, we melt the fat out first.
