First Time Making Sauerbraten

There's been sporadic talk of interest in German foods here lately, so I thought I'd tackle Sauerbraten for the first time.
I chose to go with top round, which marinated for three days, then braised. On it is a ginger snap cookie gravy and a side of red cabbage with raisins, grated apple, shallots and crushed bacon.
For a while I guess I was convinced that it's one of those dishes that either needed to be ordered in a restaurant or prepared by one of my dead great grandparents lol.
The resulting flavors were outstanding, and the myth of it being a complicated dish for me has been removed.
There are things I would tweak about making it next time. I made it in a dutch oven, and I may try a crock pot, perhaps using chuck, which was a cut actually recommended to me.

I celebrate Octoberfest in my home every fall, and I typically use a very lean chuck roast for my Sauerbraten.
What you did there looks awesome. All you are missing is some potato pancakes under that beautiful gravy.

That looks awesome!
Throw in some potato dumplins and I am all over that. What beer did you have with it?
