This was a very good recipe! I doubled the recipe for our family of 4 to make sure I had leftovers. The only thing I did different was to cook in my stovetop pressure cooker with regulator rocking slowly for 20 minutes....instead of simmer in a pan for 2 hours. My whole family thought this was an excellent meal. I baked fresh biscuits and served it over them with green beans on the side. The sauce had an excellent flavor and the meat was very tender. I will definitely be making this recipe again in the very near future!

The gravy was a bit thin. Will use less water next time. There will definitely be a next time, though. The flavor was excellent. Four diners, a double batch and no leftovers. It was a hit here.

This was very good. Now I didn't have onion powder so I used half of a medium onion, diced it up and cooked it with the meat. My Grandmother (she is German) told me this was not Sauerbraten, when I told her that I was making it for supper. I told her I know that- this is suppose to be a quick fix. And it was! It impressed her! We served with red cabbage,and potato balls. Very nice. Thank you for sharing. It even passed the 4 year old, picky eater test! So thanks!

I am not much of a cook but i'm learning and this recipe was a smash hit with my ever so picky kids. But it was even better the next night for leftovers. I have made this 3x this month

The family really enjoyed this one, and it was a breeze. I used white wine vinegar. Only change I made was to add a little fresh onion while it was simmering. I simmered for 1 1/2 hours.

Like others, I put this in the crockpot. It came out absolutely perfect. Other than adding a chopped onion, I followed the recipe as written. Yum!

I too put it in a crock pot. Cooked meat first then threw it all in the crock for four hours. It was sooo good! I related the taste to the taste of beef jerky. We ate it over rice. Very good! Thanks!!!

My picky husband loves this one! So easy and affordable. I slice the meat before cooking and serve over rice with a veggie and bread!

This was delicious and so easy. My family loved it. I doubled the recipe for my family of 5 and there was almost none left over. I will definitely make this again.

This was very good! I did a few things differently though. I added one medium size onion to the beef when browning it as I didn't have onion powder. I added a bit extra W. sauce. I used 1/4 c. red wine and a 1 tsp. of white vinegar instead of red wine vinegar. The brown sugar and the red wine gave it a really nice flavor. I also added 1 cup of mushrooms near the end of cooking. Thanks for the great recipe!

This has been a family favorite for several years. I saute fresh onions for more flavor. I also use balsamic or cider vinegar for extra tartness. This recipe can be used with chicken tenders and boneless pork chops as well. Serve this dish with scalloped potatoes and red cabbage for a fun German theme meal. Nice to see this recipe is still around!

What an easy and delicious recipe. I didn't have any red wine vinegar, so I used regular red wine and vinegar. I doubled the amount of these. I also added a bit more sugar. I let the mixture marinade for a couple of hours before cooking it. I used a crockpot, and it was very convenient. I will certainly make this again.

My whole family enjoyed this meal. The meat was very tender and the gravy was tasty. Some reviewers comment they thought it was bland, but I didn't find it bland at all and I prefer dishes with lots of flavour. I prepared the recipe in my electric fry pan and actually cooked it for about 2 hours. I also had on hand a Lipton's Sidekicks package of Instant Mashed Potatoes with Beef Gravy mix, so I used the packet of gravy mix in the meat recipe and prepared the mashed potatoes as the side dish.

I put the round steak in my crock pot, mixed all the ingredients and poured it over the meat. It turned out very tender.

Delicious and easy to prepare. My wife and dinner guests raved about how good this dish was, and my wife made em promise to prepare it more often. I felt the original recipe was a bit on the bland side, so I suggest using 3 tablespoons of brown sugar, 4 to 6 tablespoons of red wine vinegar (depending on taste), 2 tablepsoons of Worcesteshire, and 2 bay leaves. The results are wonderful. Make sure to serve the meat au jaus, as the broth is where most of the flavor resides.
