One of my all-time favorite German dishes is sauerbraten, but I don't love that it normally takes five to 10 days to make. Using an electric pressure cooker, I think I've captured that same distinctive flavor in less than two hours. —James Schend, Dairy Freed

Ingredients

4 whole cloves
4 whole peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup white vinegar
2 teaspoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
Dash ground ginger
1 pound boneless beef top round steak, cut into 1-inch cubes
3 medium carrots, cut into 1/2-inch slices
2 celery ribs, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 small onion, chopped
1/3 cup crushed gingersnaps
Hot cooked egg noodles
Optional: Chopped fresh parsley and coarsely ground pepper

Directions

Place cloves, peppercorns and bay leaf on a double thickness of cheesecloth; bring up corners of cloth and tie with kitchen string to form a bag. In a large bowl, combine the water, vinegar, sugar, salt and ginger. Add beef and spice bag; let stand at room temperature for 30 minutes.

Transfer all to a 6-qt. electric pressure cooker. Add carrots, celery and onion. Lock the lid and close pressure-release valve. Adjust to pressure-cook on high for 10 minutes. Quick-release pressure. Select saute setting and adjust for medium heat; bring liquid to a boil. Discard the spice bag. Stir in gingersnaps; cook and stir until thickened, about 3 minutes. Serve with egg noodles. If desired, top with parsley and pepper.

Test Kitchen tips

Sauerbraten is one of the best-known German dishes and is often seen as the national dish of Germany. In traditional preparations the meat is marinated in a vinegar and herb mixture for many days, creating its iconic tang.

More often than not, this hearty dish is served on noodles and a side dish of braised red cabbage.

In some regions of Germany and throughout the US, you'll often find crispy potato pancakes served on the side as well.
