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.

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. Have a wonderful week and come back to see us real soon!
Peace and Joy

  5. I so want to try your delicious-sounding recipe in my new Instant Pot pressure cooker! Can you tell me how to translate "cook at 15 lbs. pressure"? What would that be in Instant Pot setting? What would the setting be and for how long?

  6. We have a lot of German heritage, but sadly not a lot of recipes. I should give this a go!

  7. I was loving my instant pot, bragging to all about it. Making my dogs food was so easy! I put in the food and the water, pressed pressure cook and like magic it was just done when it beeped. Getting used to the pressurization wasn't hard at all. It wasn't really difficult to use.instant pot manual
