Sauerbraten
2 inch thick piece of chuck, pot roast or tender boiling beef. Place in
dish or bowl and cover with solution of half vinegar and half water, put
in two large onions sliced. Do this two or three days before the meat is
wanted. On the day before it is to be cooked cut 3 or 4 slices of bacon
into 1″ pieces and chop fine 1 tablespoon of the onion which has been
soaking in the vinegar. Cut holes in the meat 1 or 2 inches apart and
stuff bits of the bacon and chopped onion into the holes. Put the meat
back into the solution, add 1 tablespoon whole cloves and 1 teaspoon
whole allspice. Bake the meat as a pot roast in part of the solution,
until tender. Use more of the solution, adding sugar to taste, in making
the gravy which will be almost black.
