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 pound beef short ribs
- 2 tablespoon 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.
