German-style marinated pot roast is called "braten." Now let's take this traditional dish one step further by adding some more ingredients and turning it into our own braten stew.
What You'll Need
- 3 pounds beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoons vegetables oil
- 1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed onion soup
- 1 cup water
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 bay leaf
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 slice pumpernickel bread, crumbled
What to Do
- In a soup pot, brown the short ribs in the oil over medium-high heat for 6 to 8 minutes; drain.
- Add the remaining ingredients except the crumbled bread and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 1-1/2 to 2 hours, or until desired tenderness, stirring occasionally.
- Remove and discard the bay leaf. Stir in the crumbled bread and serve.
Notes
I like to serve this with some additional pumpernickel bread.

I believe Ruby is wrong. I think browning does seal in the juices and makes some more as well.

Do you think this could be done in a slow cooker?

Fem, make sure that do brown the meat seals the juices in. Also cut the ribs in 3 bones apart that way it will fit in cooker alot easier.

Browning does not seal in the juices of the meat, but it does add flavor, which is a very good thing. Ruby
