Ingredients

• 1.5 Pounds (lb) top round steak, sliced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 0.75 Ounces (oz) dry brown gravy mix, packaged
• 2 Cups water
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) onion powder
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) brown sugar
• 2 Tablespoons (tbsp) red wine vinegar
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) Worcestershire sauce
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) ground ginger
• 1 Whole bay leaf
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 1 Pinch black pepper, ground

Steps

1. Prepare the Steak: Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the sliced round steak and brown well on both sides. Remove the meat from the pan and set aside.
2. Create the Sauce: In the same pan, add the dry brown gravy mix and water. Stir constantly and bring the mixture to a boil.
3. Flavor the Sauce: Stir in the onion powder, brown sugar, red wine vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, ground ginger, bay leaf, salt, and ground black pepper to taste.
4. Simmer the Steak: Return the browned steak to the pan. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for one hour, or until the meat is tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
5. Alternative Cooking Method: For a more hands-off approach, transfer the mixture to a casserole dish and bake covered at 350°F (175°C) for 1.5 hours.
6. Finish and Serve: Remove the bay leaf before serving. Pair the sauerbraten with buttered noodles or your favorite side dish for a complete meal. Enjoy the rich, savory flavors of this German-inspired dish!
