To make Sauerbraten with Beef, you will need the following ingredients:

- 3 pounds beef roast
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon mustard seeds
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup beef broth
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 2 tablespoons butter

To begin, combine the red wine, red wine vinegar, onion, garlic, brown sugar, mustard seeds, salt, black pepper, and bay leaf in a large bowl. Add the beef roast and marinate for at least 24 hours, turning occasionally.
When you are ready to cook the Sauerbraten with Beef, preheat your oven to 325 degrees F. Remove the beef from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Reserve the marinade.
Heat a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the beef and brown on all sides, about 10 minutes total. Remove the beef from the pot and set aside.
Add the reserved marinade and beef broth to the pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and return the beef to the pot. Cover and bake in the oven for 3-4 hours, or until the beef is tender.
When the beef is done, remove it from the pot and set aside. Strain the cooking liquid through a fine-mesh sieve and discard the solids. Return the liquid to the pot and bring to a simmer.
In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and butter to make a roux. Add the roux to the pot and whisk until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
To serve, slice the beef and spoon the sauce over the top. Sauerbraten with Beef is best served with boiled potatoes and red cabbage.
This dish is a perfect combination of sweet and sour flavors, with a tender and juicy beef that is sure to impress. Sauerbraten with Beef is a classic German dish that is perfect for any occasion, and is sure to become a family favorite.
