Deliciuosly tender, and the sauce was amazing on garlic mashed potatoes. We didn't have onion powder, so we substitued garlic powder and minced onions. It would probably be even better with the onion powder. I didn't use the vinegar, instead I used dry red wine. Beautiful!

My husband loved it. I enjoyed it also. I doubled the brown sugar and vinegar and used 1 TBSP of worcester since I kept reading the work "bland". I didn't have onion powder so I used a tablespoon of onion flakes. My husband just ate the leftovers..it's all gone. It was a nice change of flavor. PS. I browned the meat and threw everything into the crock pot on low for about 8 hours and thickened the gravy, served over buttered noodles.

I had to double the brown sugar and vinegar and would have preferred regular white vinegar for my own taste plus next time I will use a whole diced onion not the powdered onion which almost ruined it in my opinion but the end result was very tasty. I used a blade steak which I browned on the top of the stove and then put it with the sauce in my cast iron casserole dish on 250 for the whole afternoon, it smelled great and the steak was soo tender, served with mashed potato and veg and it hubby thought it was like Sunday dinner on a weekday with very little effort, thanks for sharing your recipe.

Absolutely a 5! Was a little skeptical about the meat not marinating, but the flavor was wonderful. I found Flat Iron Steak on sale at about the same price as Round Steak and prepared it in the oven as suggested along with baked potatoes.

We don't even know what sauerbraten is, but this was great. We skipped the ginger because we don't like it and we subbed crushed red pepper. Thanks Kathy!

I tried this for a change of pace with my round steak, and wow! My husband couldn't stop raving about the sauce and what a great flavor it had. I served it over rice with honey-butter green beans on the side which made a very pretty meal as well as a well liked meal. I will definitely make this again!

Very quick to make and economical too. It is a standby during the week but you could probably serve it to company. The gravy is delicious. We like it with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Great recipe. I didn't have a gravy mix so I made my own gravy. I served the dish over egg noodles and the family loved it, even my 2 year old!

Great way to use round steak....so tender and juicy. just made this again tonight and served it with braised broccoli to make it south beach diet worthy. Totally awesome. I always put everything in the crock pot and just let it go for several hours until the round steak just falls apart.

I made this last night for my BF. His response was "that was one of the best meals I have ever eaten." I served it over noodles with green beans and fresh rolls. I did adjust to 6 TBS Red Wine Vinegar, 3 TBS of Worces. 3 TBS Brown Sugar and 2 bay leaves. I cooked it in a slow cooker with two small onions and some mushrooms for 2 hours. It was FABULOUS!!!!

Very Tasty, without the basil (I almost forgot) it wasn't the same. Great with rice or some mashed red potatoes. Next time I'll get really authentic!

I tried this on a whim since I had round steak to use up. I increased sugar, vinegar and Worc-sauce per suggestions, it smelled great and looked great, but it was too sweet/tangy. I ended up adding hot pepper sauce and black pepper to tone down the sweetness, so we could eat it.
