Expert Tips

Prefer tangy sauerkraut? Use the regular flavor instead of the sweeter Bavarian-style.
Create a full German menu with this roast, spaetzle (the traditional German dumpling) or buttered egg noodles, a spinach salad with bacon dressing and crusty rolls.
Serve the sliced beef on pumpernickel bread spread with hearty German mustard and topped with the sauerkraut mixture.
