This is a simplified version of Sauerbraten that does not require marinating

top round steak is used.

1 ½ lbs top round steak, trimmed and cut in pieces

1 Tablespoon vegetable oil

1 (.75oz.) package dry brown gravy mix

2 cups water

1 Tablespoon onion powder

1 Tablespoon brown sugar

2 Tablespoon red wine vinegar

1 teaspoon ground ginger

½ teaspoon salt

1 Bay leaf

Ground black pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Heat oil in large pan over medium heat. Add meat and brown well. Remove meat.

Add gravy mix and water and bring to a boil, stirring constantly.

2. Stir in onion powder, brown sugar, vinegar. Worcestershire Sauce, ginger, bay leaf, salt and pepper.

Put meat in crock pot, cover with gravy mixture and cook on high for about 5 to 6 hours.

Linda’s Note: For my luncheon… I added more flavoring as I used more steak. I added: 1 extra gravy mix, more water, ¼ cup cider vinegar, 1/8 cup brown sugar, ½ teaspoon salt, 1/3 teaspoon pepper, 1 Tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce, 1 full teaspoon ginger, and sprinkle all with some onion powder.
