Ingredients: 1 Chuck Blade roast at least 3 lbs. or larger.
Put the meat into a casserole (no metal pans!)
or Tupperware that you can seal really well.
Quarter a large onion over the meat.
Put in 5 or 6 bay leaves and about 20 peppercorns.
Pour in pickling vinegar to a about 3/4 up the side of the meat. Do not use Heinz vinegar. For some reason it makes the meat taste bad. Seal up the meat really well. Tupperware is best. Refrigerate for at least 5 days. Turn the meat over once a day. The meat will not spoil. The longer you marinate it the more tender it will become. Add a little vinegar if needed

Notes: This recipe was handed down from Mike's German mother. Everyone's mouth will water as the meat cooks. It's hard to wait for it to get done. The meat is fork tender and tastes heavenly. Whenever anyone goes to Mike's mom's house Sauerbraten is the dish most requested.
