For this sauerbraten, I found two slightly different handwritten versions of my Grandmother’s recipe. Born in Nekkar am Rhein in 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.
