Slow Cooker Venison Sauerbraten

Wednesday, February 10, 2016
Sauerbraten is a national dish of Germany, usually using beef or lamb this one is a stew style sauerbraten that you can make from a venison tenderloin or by using stew meat.


Of course, you can use beef or lamb also, this recipe is just a guideline.


The gravy is delicious and I often serve this with a favorite mashed potato recipe and cabbage.


You can adapt this any way you prefer, the venison has to be marinated and will take a few days for this recipe so it's a longer process than normal with delicious results.

Venison Roast or Stew Meat



This is a German-style stew or roast whichever you prefer.

There aren't any vegetables in the authentic version of this recipe and the sauerbraten is usually served with some kind of potatoes and cabbage in Germany.



Even though this is made with venison or beef, the marinade for this dish is very good and a good copycat of authentic flavors.


It's a rich sauce with a vinegar marinade that is an acquired taste.

Cooking The Venison



Sauerbraten usually is made with a large roast of beef or using lamb.


This is venison stew however you can use the tenderloin which is the roast of the venison.


If you decide the roast is the way you want to cook this, remember to cook it slow and low in the crockpot.
