Pressure Cooker Sauerbraten

When we had family living in Germany we were able to visit several times for extended time frames. One of the many foods I really enjoyed was Sauerbraten, which is a roast that has been marinated for 3 or 4 days in wine and vinegar. This recipe takes less than 2 hours from beginning to going on the table and the flavor is just as good. Cooking it in the pressure cooker is truly one of the best recipes that I have tried for Sauerbraten. The pressure cooker allows all those spices to be locked into the beef and it is so tender it falls apart.

After We Sear The Roast Place The 

Vegetables, Spices and Liquid Into The Pressure Pot

Place The Lid On and Pressure The Sauerbraten

Then In A Short Time It Is Ready To Serve

I treasure the time that we were able to spend time with family in Germany, it was a very special time in our life. We brought some of that countries culture with us and the love of Sauerbraten is sure one of them. I am sure glad that you were able to stop by and visit with us here at the cottage today.
