Julie3551's Note:

This German dish has a flavor not unlike pot roast. Sometimes a thin dill pickle spear in rolled up inside. Other flavor variations include adding paprika, tomato puree, sour cream or lemon juice when you thicken the gravy. All are yummy. I suspect that after browning a crock pot would work well too.

This was a great recipe. I did add some gravy powder at the end after tasting the sauce as I think it needed a little extra, I might try beef stock instead of water next time I make it. Made and reviewed for ZWT4.

This was a very tasty dish. I am going to try it again with some of the suggested variations. I doubled the cornstarch. We served it over Recipe #203838 . Made for ZWT4.
